Such wonderful news for Cathie and you and Groundwood!
At the beginning of April, Marci Stepak will walk to every one of the Toronto Public Library's 100 branches over the course of a few days, to honour her mother and raise money for the Toronto Public www.beingmarci.ca
Grateful to #CanadaCouncilForTheArts for their support of Canadian authors through the #PublicLendingRight program. Writers get compensation for titles they have in public libraries. One of *many* reasons to be grateful for Canada's strong library systems and the great folks who work there!
It's launch day for this gorgeous book! 💥🌎
ONE COSMIC ROCK is available tomorrow! In the meantime, here's a post that talks about my inspiration for this book, challenges when writing, and other goodies. Enjoy! And thanks for hosting me, @picturebookseh.bsky.social!

Deleted my account. Hadn't been there since 2023 and doesn't feel like a place I want to be with M*sk in charge and what's happening with AI there.
COVER REVEAL! I'm thrilled with the cover by @dreamist.bsky.social of our #picturebook ONE COSMIC ROCK: The Story of the Asteroid That Changed Our World. It's coming from @owlkids.bsky.social in Feb 2026. Outer space! Dinosaurs! And more!

If you don't know the Canadian Children's Book Centre, you really should! 👇
I love this exploration of how this beautiful and tender picture book came to be!
Ahhh, fingers crossed for you, Erin!
This is so important (and so weirdly overlooked)!

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.
If you live in Canada and support independent bookstores, please make your voice heard! #CanKidLit #IndieBookstores #CanLit #BookSky
Yes! Kids can enjoy following the dog through its adventure to the beach without it having to be anything but a dog. And adult readers can enjoy the utter relief of that middle-aged lady giving herself (and her dog) a great day!
Hooray! Thanks for the heads up. #kidlitchat
Looking forward to whenever you do your next instalment of that club, Jennifer! (No pressure 😉)
I find everything Sophie Blackall writes and/or illustrates is magical. #kidlitchat

A great way to avoid the drama and chaos is to put on your critical-thinking hat. Tying mine on tightly so the winds of nonsense don't blow it off.
BTW, there's a book for that.

Attention picture book writers!
Exactly! 😀
Hi Karen! Happy to find friends here. 😀
Seems like a good day to join some fellow kid lit creators on this app!
