Are you an #latinx #kidlit author or illustrator? @adriprints and I invite you to join our private FB group, Kidlit Latinx. We’ve created a safe space to ask questions about the publishing industry, share opportunities and support eachother. ¡La unión hace la fuerza!

@DanielNayeri That is so cool! Can’t wait to watch! Congratulations!

I wrote a movie called ReEntry about a woman whose husband disappears in a lab accident only to return a year later. Starring Emily Deschanel, Sam Trammell, Noma Dumezweni, & Maulik Pancholy! It's coming to #HeartlandFilmFestival on Oct 11th! heartlandfilm.org/festival

@alex_temblador @texasbookfest Love it! Hope to be able to see you there! I consider Tx Bookfest the start of the holiday season!!

@MikeishaDache @Scholastic Another option is to adopt a local PTO & donate funds for book fair petty cash. It is heartbreaking to turn kids w books away b/c they’re missing a little $$. A stocked petty cash allows volunteers to help make up the missing funds without making a big deal out of it.

Hey @Scholastic the people would like to donate! Can they donate without having a child with an eWallet?

The Scholastic Book Fair now has a program called “Share the Fair,” where you can donate so students in your child’s school who may not be able to buy books can buy some. 🥹

@TheJosieMarie I feel this. I can’t bring myself to cancel my dad’s subscriptions…but I did unsubscribe from all his junk mailings - he was never gonna read those emails! El duelo es algo bien raro.

Grief is the strangest thing you’ll encounter in life. I’m still paying for my mother’s phone over one year later after she passed. She’s never gonna call me again or text me back. But a part of her is still here?

Happy to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month with the first installment of my blog series on children’s books creators by country! Here are some kid lit creators of Haitian descent to read and support! Did I miss anyone? I know I did! romynatalia.squarespace.com/blog/kidlit-cr…

Love that you wrote this story @laurieablair ! I’m endlessly fascinated by @MickeyParaguay and even wrote them into my novel! nytimes.com/es/2024/09/14/…

Hasta sus 18 años, Olinda Ruiz conocía poco sobre la historia política de Paraguay y el pasado de su familia. Pero descubrió que sus abuelos estuvieron involucrados en la época más oscura de su país. Escucha este episodio producido por @radioambulante elhilo.audio/podcast/paragu…

@radioambulante @elhilopodcast Muchísimas gracias por esta historia. Es cierto lo que dicen en el episodio, cabe resaltar que tan fuerte es el silencio en el Paraguay que recién después de dos generaciones se pueden ir dando casos así. Justo hoy salió esta nota: ultimahora.com/nunca-sabremos…

@ClaraElenaDice @atifalikeathena @walleaeaglehawk @AitchisonJoshua @evanaustinauthr So excited for you!!

Thank you to all the people who worked tirelessly to make this happen, including @atifalikeathena @walleaeaglehawk and my incredible beta readers @AitchisonJoshua @evanaustinauthr and @RomyNGoldberg 🙌🏽 Without you, none of this would be possible. I am forever grateful. 🫶🏼

I am so excited to announce that SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS will be published by @revolt_twt next year! At last, Paraguayan lore and legend will be brought to the world stage 🇵🇾 There are no words for how much this means to me. Thank you. Gracias. Aguije.

@jhernandezbooks Yup. When we set everything up for my dad my mom kept saying it felt like a wedding but with no groom 🙁

@MeganLacera @MundodePepita Thank you!!!

@MundodePepita @RomyNGoldberg this may be of interest to you!

UPDATED! I've added a NEW game to our traditional game boards-Yaguareté-Kora, a game of strategy from the Guaraní peoples. This time of year is perfect for teaching authentic games, & w these 6 you've got lots of possibilities! 📷 Find it here bit.ly/2LhOU5u #langchat

@Ciaralovesbooks @erinsiskabooks @acuevaswrites @jasminnemendez @apalessandri @adriprints Again @acuevaswrites and @jesskimwrites , also Epic Fail by Paolo Cartaya and Falling Short by Ernesto Cisneros. For lower MG I think Crystal Allen’s Maya Tibbs is a good series.

@RomyNGoldberg @erinsiskabooks @acuevaswrites @jasminnemendez @apalessandri @adriprints These suggestions rock! We have Total Eclipse of Nestor. We did it as our fall book club book. Love! (So I will definitely need to get her other titles.) I have all of Ana’s! I think. So good! But the rest I will check out. Any thoughts on funny #middlegrade?

I am shopping for my #school #library!!!! I need #BookRecommendations both #middlegrade and #picturebooks. What are your recs? #kidlit #authors #illustrators #writingcommunity #amreading

@Ciaralovesbooks @erinsiskabooks Any specific holes in your catalog you’re looking to fill? Some easy picks: @acuevaswrites ‘s CUBA and EL ECLIPSE TOTAL DE NESTOR LÓPEZ, and @jasminnemendez ‘s ANIANA DEL MAR PB: see all Ana Siqueira and @apalessandri , also @adriprints’s FLAN & Nochebuena. Many more to rec!

@erinsiskabooks Yes, please! @RomyNGoldberg what are your Spanish recs?

@ruben_degollado Oh that is awesome

Currently in the Deep South, saw this store, and my Mexican self said “inglés.” (Sp. for English). 😂

Yessss!!! So proud of you, Adrianna!!!

@soniahistoria Felicidades!!!

@chiaberry Wow that’s quite a lineup! Enamoro Verdes, Juanes, Molotov and Kinky I want to go to that area!!

People keep commenting on their IG asking them to release the set times / schedule. I'm antsy to find out too, not because I'm going but I just wanna know how everyone on this list is going to perform in a one day festival.

@jhernandezbooks Ahhhh! Love this! Everything I knew about snow as a child I learned from Calvin and Hobbes!
