In honor of my grandpa, who defied restrictive covenants and whose civil act of disobedience was simply being himself. This is the back story to MIGHTY INSIDE, about 13 y.o. Melvin Robinson, who's growing up #Black in 1950s #Spokane #PNW (as my dad did). youtube.com/watch?v=4SOq6F…

I spoke at a school this week where 4 kids won a STEM contest w/ their idea for a kevlar backpack to save lives. Proud of them. Horrified by their felt need for this invention. Please sign: chng.it/J95wRv6R via @Change #EnoughIsEnough #kidsoverguns #GunControlLawsNOW

Absolutely honored and grateful 🙏 Thanks to my family, @ArthurALevine1, @serendipitylit for believing in me and Melvin. In honor of my grandparents, my dad, his sibs, and all boundary-defying people. #blackpioneers #africanamericanpride #SpokaneWA

Which books would you/do you recommend for kids who love the WIMPY KID and DORK DIARIES type books?

@KO2news @ScratchJr @DrydenSchool What a clever idea to have kids code a story! I love this. Thanks for how you’re bringing my book to life and making reading relevant and fun with your students!

Thinking critically to code a scene using @ScratchJr based on our “One Book One School” book- Cleo Edison Oliver, Playground Millionaire by @SundeeFrazier. What a clever idea to have a tooth-pulling business! I wonder what these 2nd graders will become one day! @DrydenSchool

Honored to be featured on the original #kidlit blog Cynsations any day! Why I ❤️ writing for 8-12 yo's, when I learned language has power (it's all about the #teachers), how I'm still here 14 years (!) after Brendan Buckley's Universe, and more. Thanks, @suma_v_s ! #middlegrade

I’m walking 2.22 miles with @girltrek at sunrise on March 10th to celebrate the 200th birthday of the greatest freedom fighter to ever live. Will you join me? #WEAREHARRIET. Also, I love this organization! #blackselflove #blackwomenwalking #healingourbodies #healingourminds

@MitaliPerkins This is awesome, Mitali!! Keep up the beautiful work.

I write for young people of all identities, but when a Bengali-American reader responds bilingually like this, it’s thrilling. The moment when she shows me the hue of her hand … !

I absolutely love this! These brilliant people are models for all people, all year long. #BlackPeople #dream #speak #inspire #dare #create #lead #Blackhistorymonth2022 #AmericanHistory #kids

Thanks @AtheneumBooks for this beautiful picture book!

Shout out to debut PB author and new friend @janeebrittany whose FLY is a beautiful tribute to Black girl self-determination and how we all soar when we bring our gifts together. 🦋#booklove #picturebooks #BlackGirlMagic #kids #kidsbooks
