I love this video of David Ortiz hitting home run #498 on my daughter's 11th birthday. She's 17 now, and we just watched the Hall of Fame announcement together. She said she got chills. Congrats, Big Papi! https://t.co/G1ljt2DdCc

My local bookstore was all out of @RyanT_Higgins’s latest book today, so I went right to the source for my last-minute Christmas shopping. Thanks, Ryan! Also, Norman Didn’t Do It (Yes, He Did) is hilarious. Such a great book. https://t.co/ib1MsGeMbb

Cool moment from ABA Children’s Institute: at dinner last night, Candlewick president Karen Lotz surprised debut author Shade Lapite with her very first real hardcover copy of her debut novel, Goddess Crown. Congrats Shade! 🥂 https://t.co/DYkirRRWZd

One of my students at Maine College of Art loaned me her copy of UNDERSTANDING COMICS back in 2005, and I've read it countless times since then. HOOPS probably wouldn't exist if I hadn't read this book. Thanks, @scottmccloud, and congrats on 30 years! 🥂 https://t.co/rKR2fXieC5

She wrote so many great books, but the Ralph S Mouse series was my favorite. Just seeing these 1980s paperbacks brings me back... RIP, Beverly Cleary https://t.co/cvsLTRlfzE
