Cookie pitch style pitch: Housefly Hide and Seek - In this look and find littles will search the page for the housefly to swat. Comes with a miniature fly swatter. This may or may not be based on a true story. #kidlit#sillypitch#PleaseTeachTheKidsToCloseTheDoor

📣📚New books coming from me in 2026! And they're the chewable variety (and by that I mean board books! 😂) Thrilled to be working on these joyfully playful books celebrating the sensory delights of landscaping, starting with LAWN MOWING! @andreabrownlit.bsky.social@jenrofe.bsky.social

Publishers weekly deal announcement reads: Hannah Lambert at Little Simon has bought the Little Landscapers board book series by author-illustrator Breanna Carzoo, featuring three animal friends who love the sensory delights of landscaping, beginning with Lawn-Mowing Day, in which the friends snip, rumble, and vroom as they mow, and followed by a second, untitled winter-themed story in which the animals joyfully clear snow. Publication is slated for spring 2026 and fall 2026, respectively; Jennifer Rofé at Andrea Brown Literary Agency negotiated the deal for world rights.

This is an interesting craft question!

Can anyone recommend any picture books that are about/for foster children, even if done in a subtle or allegorical way? #kidlit#kidlitart

One of the reasons MG is so life-changing and powerful is that this is the age when readers are more likely to be picking their own books for the first time. So they are more likely to find the books that speak to their hearts. #KidLitChat
