Tennessee school board bans MAUS by Art Spiegelman, the iconic and ground-breaking graphic novel about the holocaust. Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I have no adequate words. The pain & suffering of the Jewish people shouldn’t be censored. https://t.co/EdOUZXLSgu

@Nate_Powell_Art Yup. I feel this pretty hard, Nate. My phone is showing me memories from March 2020, and my chest gets so heavy.

When jumping into the audiobook adaptations for the Lunch Lady books, I was pretty adamant that we get kids for the kid characters. I wanted to “Charles Schulz” it. There’s a reason why those Charlie Brown specials are so special—they recorded actual kids. https://t.co/TxJMghsm1a

When Norton Juster was a young man, and PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH was recently published, the producers of THE Wizard of Oz optioned his book. He told me this when he was in his 80s, nearly a half-century after the fact. It still produced such an audible sigh.

After 104 trips around the sun, Beverly Cleary has left this world. Rest easy, Ms. Cleary. Your words and work have left an indelible mark on me and countless readers. My beat-up childhood copy of The Mouse and the Motorcycle will forever live on my bookshelf and my psyche. https://t.co/gxP1C3qK6S
