"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."
Marina Green #MSWL

AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR GRAPHIC NOVELS:

-Feminism from a fresh perspective
-Psychology and sociology

-Mental health (anxiety, depression, self help if not preachy)

Layered and/or simply silly stories that speak to kids at their level, that respect their intelligence & capacity for all kinds of emotion, a bit of darkness—or just plain wackiness! Give me high-concept funny read alouds; diverse perspectives and traditionally marginalized voices; kid appeal, & joy

It’s been a minute since I posted a picture book #MSWL ! My taste for PB runs from the quirky, imaginative, & funny like Stalactite & Stalagmite by Drew Beckmeyer to the gorgeously lyrical, emotional, and joyful like Where They Gather by Teresa Rodrigues, illus by Jamiel Law. The common thread? 1/2

Open to queries again! Check out my @socalledkidlit account on Instagram to see more! And as always check out my profile here for up to date #MSWL
