At today's #NCTE25 Closing Session, we bid a fond farewell to Tonya B. Perry as #NCTE President, welcomed Antero Garcia to the helm, and heard from Robin Wall Kimmerer about teachers' role in helping students to recognize, reciprocate, and tell stories about earthly gifts.

I saw the almost final art for Lily-May's Joyful Day last night. Holly's art is soooooooooooooo joyful! Publication Date: September 1, 2026
Publishers Weekly announced Lily-May's Joyful Day, illustrated by Holly Hatam and written by me, today! It is a celebration of the cascading joy that arises from acts of collective inspiration. Thank you, Holly, Candlewick, @mollyoneill.bsky.social, Karen Lotz, and @skeetervm.bsky.social!

Love that George Saunders gave a shout-out to Cheryl Lindbloom in his National Book Award for Distinguished Contributions to American Letters speech. She was one of my favorite teachers in high school. (George and I graduated from the same high school.)
