Thrilled to be the Spotlight of the SCBWI Westchester chapter: scbwiwestchester.wordpress.com/2020/11/01/rea… I talk about why I wrote A Sky Without Lines and my inspirations in #kidlit 👇🏾😊 @yuyimorales @WheelerStudio @MoWillems @peterhreynolds @AmeDyckman @mineditionUS @DSloanandco @SCBWIWstchstr

@writes_Sabrina Congratulations!!! 🍾🎈🎊🎉

The venn diagram of the ‘genuinely curious’ people with their ‘honest question’ and the passive aggressive people with their regular ass question is a circle.

@EmilyGouldNYmag Of all the raw gorgeousness, can we take a minute to acknowledge this line - “it also turns out that the kids won’t eat dinner no matter who cooks it, and now we get to experience that frustration equally.”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Happy Valentine's Day! Would you like to read a long essay about divorce? thecut.com/article/marria…

@MegAuchenbach @AaronsBooks @PeterPauperPres Looks gorgeous Meg! Hope you’re having the best day ever!

@JyotiGopal @KokilaBooks @greenburgerkids @GreenburgerLit This is so cool JG!! I am going to try my bestest to be there and strongly considering pulling the kids out of school to experience it!!

@shondarhimes brilliant that instead of Anthony consoling Kate hiding under the desk you wrote charlotte consoling George hiding under the bed. 😘 #QueenCharlotte

@JyotiGopal @bankstreetedu @KokilaBooks @greenburgerkids @GreenburgerLit @WendiLuluGu Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊 so well deserved ❤️

@guneetm Sorry you didn’t get to share your thoughts on stage! Congratulations!

We just win the first ever Oscar for an Indian Production! Two women did this! I am still shivering ♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️

@mikescollins My 6yo just cracked up when Zahn kissed cardboard lady. 🤣 I guess that’s what we’re going to do with our Sunday afternoon now 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think this is my favorite scene in a movie

@JyotiGopal @ChildrensAidNYC @KokilaBooks @greenburgerkids @WendiLuluGu So gorgeous🥰

@WMM_Series Taking a long time to finish as I trail into thought every couple of pages. So much is resonant plus transportive. ❤️

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it!!! 😭😭😭😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Reading this now @WMM_Series

It’s amusing that Bollywood blames their ‘kitschy’ 80’s on South Indian influence which at the time was making some of the best movies that still hold up as a gold standard. #theromantics

Cappuccinos and awesome company at the local library (so glad we caught up @JyotiGopal 🥰) and now diving into this stash. I love free Saturdays. (Thanks to finally giving up on dragging kids to piano classes. They mutinied 🤷🏽‍♀️.)

@minitreehouse 11 angry men confused about the camera eyeline?

Anyone know this film? 🙂

@rozanark Congrats homie! So great to see you featured here! 🥰

Thrilled to be featured on 12x12! Thank you to Elisa Houot, my amazing CPs, Nidhi Chanani, Desi Kidlit, PBParty, 12x12, and many others in the #WritingCommunity for being part of this journey.

@JyotiGopal @slj @NYPLRecommends @greenburgerkids @WendiLuluGu @KokilaBooks That’s amazing!!! Congrats buddy!

@DanielNayeri @mcrockefeller WOW (see what I did there?)

DRAWN ONWARD a visually symmetrical journey with word-level & letter-level palindromes throughout. A boy whose "Da's sad" sets out with a question in his heart, "Mom were you glad you were mom?" in a world akin to #TheLegendofZelda. Hat tip to dream collaborator @mcrockefeller

Had such a FABULOUS time watching the gorgeous, graceful, super TALENTED @JyotiGopal unveil her amazing 2nd book #mypaatissaris. If you haven’t grabbed a copy, you MUST. It’s one of those perfect PB’s where the words and art are a match made in heaven. #kidlit #picturebook

Awesome interview!
