I want to believe that stories can change hearts. I’m actively seeking stories about immigrants, refugees, and the marginalized, so please send me your graphic novels, your picture books, your YA, your MG! Love and empathy and awareness can be radical. #MSWL

Would do backflips for a joyful picture book about karaoke—sort of like the karaoke equivalent of HIP-HOP LOLLIPOP. 🎤♥️✨ #MSWL

Rose Lavelle's grade school shared the following last night: "Once upon a time, this little girl dressed up as her hero, Mia Hamm, for a book sharing project ... Now, little girls everywhere look up to her, and will be working hard to become like Rose." bit.ly/2XDZ0Zi pic.twitter.com/9CGy0zxbmTI’m not crying, but that’s a lie—I’m totally crying. Totally on my picture book #MSWL !

Eating chicken and rice from a Chinese food truck for lunch and thinking about how this combo transcends so many cultures. Has there ever been a picture book about the many kinds of perfection that is chicken and rice? #MSWLOk, @rachaeljstein, I see that! But I’ll raise you a PB about the world’s dumplings. (Gyoza, won tons, ravioli, etc.) #MSWL
