My son has asked me to "make more books with talking animals" so, here's my official request to agents on his behalf. I'm interested in picture books with strong SEL hooks and would love to see more humor too. Must connect to our mission of helping kids thrive. #MSWL

My #MSWL has been updated. It is password protected for agents b/c I was getting unsolicited submissions otherwise (sorry!): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/naom…

I'm looking forward to seeing new submissions in my inbox in 2022!

I'd really like to acquire a children's book that explores a theological concept or aspect of who God is from a BIPOC author with a progressive Christian perspective. Throwing this out into the wind to see what comes back. Thread of books w/ similar themes below. #MSWL

I am asked about this often, and I really wish there were dozens, nay, hundreds of great kids'/middle grade/YA books dealing with transracial adoption *written by transracial adoptees*. Adopted kids need a whole lot more rep than they've got.

This is on my #MSWL. Would love to acquire a book like this.
