Brilliant book people-- what say you about RHYMING picture books these days? If I'm fiddling with a new idea (for younger readers) should I rhyme or no?

Ha, this old chestnut.

Charlie & Mouse by Laurel Snyder. Complaint: “Protect Children! Boy wears tutu. Visits house with “two misters.” “Two men share a house.” /18

So excited for you all to see this book, which began so personally for me, and which has been such a joy to make with Vera!

Thank you so much for including Violet!

If you have not been calling your reps, you really need to start. Call both their DC and local offices. That’s six calls. Make it as personal as you can. Every single day. Emails and resistbot texts are not the same. Call.
