In 2022, I look back to the start of the universe in Only One, with the incredible art of @ChuckGroenink; Also in 2022 two Deadliest #nonfiction titles, Hurricanes & Wildfires. Underlying theme in all is the #climatecrisis, already shaping the lives of 21st cent children.
Happy birthday, #JaneAusten. My favorite novel is Persuasion, and my absolute favorite spinoff is Longbourn by @JoBakerWriter https://t.co/COweNFBFzZ
Found out today that Only One will be translated into Chinese and Estonian, which, in light of news and the generally depressing state of things, gives me hope. Also makes me want to go to Estonia and see a castle...like in a Christmas movie. @ChuckGroenink @anneschwartzbks
I keep hoping hoping monarchs will appear someday to visit my pollinator garden and milkweed. #monarchs @ChronicleKids
@theaterclouds Yup. I charge $125, have won the SCBWI award for picture book text twice, & have published more than two dozen picture books. Email: deborahhopkinson@yahoo.com
@GotmTeaches Yes! Love this.These three books are related: Spy is #historicalfiction set in winter 1944 b4 D-Day. A boy in Spy escaped to England on the Kindertransport. Eisenhower's dog Telek appears in #nonfiction D-Day & as a character in Spy. #historymustbeseen
As students ask about #AmazonUnions, it's helpful to look at labor union movement leaders of the past. March 25th was the 110th anniversary of the Triangle fire tragedy. Hearing Polish-born Rose Schneiderman speak at a memorial galvanized Frances Perkins. #historymustbeseen
I tell young readers that sometimes we're lucky enough to find something we love to do when we're still young. For #WomensHistoryMonth here's #nonfiction, with lovely art by @qinleng, about a girl named #janeausten who did just that. @BalzerandBray
There are many reasons to appreciate the accomplishments of #JaneAusten during #WomensHistoryMonth. I thought of her recently when we lost power, internet, & heat for in an ice storm. We played cards. Unlike Jane, I didn't get much writing done. @BalzerandBray .
