Putting some #MSWL items out into the universe in the hopes they find their way to me in 2020! Agent friends, I’m actively acquiring PB, MG, and YA but I’m really looking to build my MG/YA lists this year. Below are some things I’d love to see right now. πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

Happy publication day to Pockets of Love! It’s illustrated by Sara Palacios, and written by me. All my books are very special, but I wrote this one during a difficult time in the world. We lost so many loved ones collectively, and in our family we lost 2 grandparents in the space of 5 months. With each loss, we grieved all our loved ones who had left us before. We always miss them, but never more than during happy moments (weddings, graduations, births and birthdays) and small, every day moments. My hope is that this book gives families the space and opportunity to remember their loved ones and perhaps have difficult conversations with the little kids in our lives, and also talk about the ways each family shows love and remembers, always, those who are too far away for a phone call or letter. Every culture has their pockets of love, a delicious finger food that reminds us of home and happy times. I’ll be making some empanadas today πŸ’–πŸ₯Ÿ Thank you to the whole @harperkids team, especially my editor @megilnit. Thanks @cwong333 for seeing the potential in this story, and @lindarandom19 for making all my dreams come true. And thank you, readers and friends for your love and support

Had some lovely lessons this week using this amazing book by @EmmaIllustrate . We used our drama storytelling pedagogies to travel and meet 4 youth activists and discover how they are tackling plastic pollution. We have loved working with @SiaraJIA to develop critical thinking.
