COVER REVEAL: I'm so over the moon to finally share my book cover!! It's whimsical & bright and the scattered characters from two alphabets capture the immigrant family experience. Super grateful to my publisher @BeaconPressBks and the talented designer Louis Roe.

@kcengel @bowlga Ooh, thank you for tagging me! Lots of stories about Soviet parenting that involve ridiculous amounts of Tchaikovsky and Bach piano pieces - though not sure if that would count as a boy band oeuvre!

Call out for stories about kids....@bowlga @MashaDC

Exciting news! My website has been completely revamped and, to celebrate, I am offering a FREE Zoom workshop with @MashaDC and @irenawrites on "Raising Your Bright Child: From Birth Through College." Let me know about any tech problems & see you there. nycschoolsecrets.com/zoom-meetings/…

Just seen Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who goes on trial today in Yekaterinburg. Emma Tucker, editor in chief of the WSJ writes: “This bogus accusation of espionage will inevitably lead to a bogus conviction for an innocent man who would then face up to 20 years in prison for simply doing his job.”

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman 😂 I’m definitely bookmarking this one

@MashaDC @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman Was asked the same thing🤣 Child doesn't remember it. But I do!

Kornei Chukovsky goldmine! Secret sauce for child bilingualism..?

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman This is the cartoon series Tri Kota, which is a whole conglomerate of books and toys and such. My kids still love it. @tri_kota" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@tri_kota

@MashaDC @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman Tri kota, which I'm not familiar with, or am I?), automatically brought this to mind, which I still think about on a semi-regular basis (wtf is wrong with me, I don't know). youtu.be/kPWZvv5xRcg?fe…

@bowlga @YelenaFurman @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman @ribakit3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@ribakit3 Here it is! He's got short tutorials for a variety of levels and ages, from rainbow cats to Tri Kota cartoon characters and Minions and a jar of Nutella (all ages, obviously). Hope your kids enjoy some of these!

@MashaDC @YelenaFurman @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman link please?

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman I also credit YouTube video series about a stuffed animal veterinary hospital with reigniting my older one's interest in Russian

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman Ooh we definitely had Masha & Medved', but also Malishariki (they are so charming) and some Soviet cartoons. My kids still love YouTube tutorials by RibaKit "Papa Risuet" - it's art and cool animation with language snuck into it (kinda like adding shredded/pureed veggies to food)

What is the state of multilingualism in the United States? ow.ly/fLyH50RozaM

@kcengel Thank you! She's just now getting comfortable with having her picture taken and navigating various scenes :) The family could not reach consensus about the name; finalists included "Ginger," "Musya," and "Pumpkin," but to now avail. So now, she just goes by Hamster 🤷‍♀️

@MashaDC Does she have a name yet? She is definitely cute and I love how you set her up in the mini scenes.

A little bit of fluff in a rough world! Love this

San Francisco!! Mark your calendars. Come support our venue and party with us!!

And Hamster’s Seder plate

To those who celebrate, happy #Passover from my hamster
