A moment of joy: FROM THE TOPS OF THE TREES by @kaokaliayang and Rachel Wada is going to be published in Hmong this fall for the US market!
BEYOND is the 4th book I've worked on with @Miranda_Paul, and she has tons of interest and enthusiasm about space--and about poetry. Illustrator @Sija_H dreamed of becoming an astronaut when she was a kid, making her a perfect fit!
In the midst of all today's #alayma excitement, I want to give a special shout-out to illustrator Khoa Le. In addition to illustrating the Sydney Taylor Honor Book MIRIAM AT THE RIVER, she also illustrated 3 more books released in the US in 2020! 1/3
PLAY LIKE AN ANIMAL by Maria Gianferrari, illus. by Mia Powell, is a delightful look at the ways animals play, and it’s jam-packed with exciting verbs to boot. Back matter explores why animals—and humans!—need to play. Featuring dolphins, ravens, kangaroos, rhinos, and more!
Happy book birthday x 4 to these fabulous new releases! We've got an amazing assortment of animals--behaving in natural and perhaps slightly unnatural ways! 🐈🐐🦩🐻🦖🦕🦃

In the words of @kaokaliayang: “Every single one of us carries a map inside of our hearts that we will need for something we don’t know is coming.”
