Ohh!! What a sweet reflection after two years. Excited to join you. Sarah Miller sent me :) Looks like you are in SF like me!?

Congratulations! I really relate to your words about writing about picturebooks that matter to you rather than following trends. After after 15 years of reviewing new releases, I have come to the same conclusion. Reviewing the picturebooks I like, in a way that I love.

I love your work here! Retired secondary language arts teacher/K-12 school librarian whose first job was in a public library. (So, lifelong booknerd.) In my school district, the call number for all the picture books started with E--not for Easy, but for Everybody, because children's books are for everyone. So appreciate what you do to celebrate them.

Congratulations on two years! I’m a third grade teacher (and artist) who is addicted to artful children’s literature and has an extensive personal collection. You have featured some of my favorites. I love your Substack and hope you keep doing what you’re doing!
