An imaginative and poignant picture book with graphic novel proportions. I’m so lucky to have a copy of #WhenYouLookUp by @DecurG, translated from Spanish by Chloe Garcia Roberts on my bookshelf @EnchantedLion @GlobalLitin #picturebooks #graphicnovels https://t.co/DHpKQBFAHG

Life post-@litfest_hk : I finally find some time to dive into Gold Boy, Emerald Girl, a short story collection by #YiyunLi. I admit, I bought it for the gorgeous cover - I adore ginkgo leaves - but I stay for the stories #chineselit @GlobalLitin https://t.co/5Q41xlTGq6

If I had not been browsing in a bookstore in Toronto, I might have missed this heart-achingly beautiful #picturebook version of Robert Frost’s timeless poem, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Gorgeously rendered by @vivianmineker @familiustalk #PBlit https://t.co/uX2OaBF2vo

@GlobalLitin Hiromi Ito’s thought-provoking and resonant story about a middle-aged caregiver to aging parents and young-ish children - hmm, someone I know? - The Thorn Puller translated by Jeffrey Angles. Hard truths told in interesting voices. Fans of Annie Ernaux might enjoy this too. https://t.co/A4T5k9mTz0

Reading for fun again: the gorgeously human story that is The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid (whom I had the opportunity to stalk when I was at @ELFDubai) https://t.co/O3glUzYmng

We've been MIA lately, but here's a corker of a picture book to end 2022. Zeno Sworder's This Small Blue Dot that could also be called "how to welcome your baby sibling into the world" @ThamesHudsonAU #PBlit #picturebooks @diversebooks @worldkidlit https://t.co/NAE5HgYatx
