Didn’t get the lovely submission I wanted, but it just means my heart is open to more picture books about activism, compassion, and self-esteem! #MSWL

Put my summer Friday to good use yesterday, and finally visited @Weeksville, the remaining houses from one of the first free black settlements, right in the middle of Brooklyn. Highly recommend for my fellow history nerds. (Also, #mswl in a big way.)

Love, Tara @TalkativeTara

In a rare episode of Tara Has An Opinion About Picture Books, can I just say to publishing: please use them as an opportunity to teach kids pronoun flexibility! I WISH I had learned it earlier + would probably have less slip-ups today. There’s no reason to be so rigid.

#MSWL (Is that the hashtag?) Someone send me a pb that does interesting things with they/them/their?

Looking for fantasy and science fiction that takes its influences, in terms both of structuring plot and characterizing action, from anime instead of from Western SFF. #mswl

Reminder that I’d love a YA about a white-passing character and the social/political/personal issues or benefits that come about because of their looks #mswl

Maureen Langloss @MaureenLangloss

My kid is tired of middle grade & YA books with thinly-veiled lessons & teachable moments. They feel condescending to her. She wants a good story with interesting, complex characters. She wants authors to give kids more credit; they can handle more nuance & subtlety.

In honor of #rwa18, here are some of the top things on my #MSWL: 1) Die Hard as a romance novel; 2) The Martian as a romance novel; 3) Jurassic Park as a romance novel (non-shifter--gimme scientists in danger!); 4) lumberjacks, and yes I am serious;
