Eleven years is a while to write a sequel but @sharonmdraper is back, baby. Her latest is OUT OF MY HEART and she had the time to talk to me about it today: https://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2021/11/10/from-out-of-my-mind-to-out-of-my-heart-an-interview-with-sharon-draper/

This is for the kid who likes their humor to be complicated, their writing to be scintillating, and to never ever know what an author is going to do next. I finally review one of my top reads of the year, SIMON SORT OF SAYS by @erinbowbooks: https://t.co/dykgPAD27c https://t.co/6oryZgC6XI

If you woke up today and thought, "I want to listen to a podcast discussing The Last of Us, lima bean availability, and the over-medicated kids of the late 90s" let @fuse_kate provide. We're talking about A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon: https://t.co/lhmLvKIUIQ https://t.co/wI0qSPSWQB

Day Five! I'm leading up to the cover reveal of my debut MG novel Long Road to the Circus (@KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids) and today we take it down a notch. This is my hero Suzy who would rather be anywhere than where she is. David Small is great at longing: https://t.co/OEAOxxD78T https://t.co/gZtX9Wpkfe

What happens when a designer decides to make picture books? Hopefully something as memorable as this 1983 Ann Jonas release. We discuss the epic ROUND TRIP on the @fuse_kate podcast and why its stood the test of time: https://t.co/dM6EnuIcAy https://t.co/ObYdTdS4sL

That it's the best superhero picture book is beyond question. By melding super power tropes and topical contemporary issues Derrick Barnes & @nancyrosep are redefining what a book like this can do. Expect no less from the guy that gave us CROWN. I review: https://t.co/z1j6nv5RbK https://t.co/hIQmTBI4sl

Today we slow things down a notch on @fuse_kate to consider Caldecott Award winner Allen Say's GRANDFATHER'S JOURNEY. How has it aged since publication? Anything worth a reconsideration? We discuss: https://afuse8production.slj.com/2022/07/11/fuse-8-n-kate-grandfathers-journey-by-allen-say/ https://t.co/XVO4wxfARg
