The #kidlit zine I made with my friend @CarlBurKids is now out in the world and reaching the hands of readers! This was a fun collaborative #poetry project and I just wanted to take a moment to introduce it. (1 of 4)

@josiedefalco @JSellarsLies Wow, that’s amazing! So there is hope! 😁

@JSellarsLies @stefkidlit Just remembered, poet Dean Atta won a BAFTA award recently so it’s possible 🤞😆

If there were an Oscar for Best Children’s Poetry Performance, my vote this year would go to @JSellarsLies for this hilarious poetry video 🚂🤢🏆😂 youtu.be/tHo4Tcx3sK4?fe… #OscarsBestPicture #AcademyAwards #kidlit #poetry

@JSellarsLies They always snub the most deserving! 😂 Next year for sure! 😉

@stefkidlit 🤣🤣🤣. thanks Stefan. Still waiting for the Academy to get in touch about picking up my trophy 🙄
