@kellyyanghk I’m still waiting for a picture book about the Chinese Exclusion Act, too. Picture books make history accessible to kids and I’d buy one in a second- and it would be so relevant to today! I never learned about it in school- only know bc it impacted the Chinese side of my familyLiterary Agency

So, time for another #MSWL, in the run-up to tomorrow's #askUpstart session. HUMOR, people! I love books that make me laugh, in every category; PB, CB, MG, YA. Here's a couple reasons why:

Guys I just really love pigeons ok? In fact, a picture book about pigeons would definitely be on my #MSWL

As someone with a sister with Down Syndrome, I'd LOVE a picture book about relationships between typical siblings and siblings with disabilities. #MSWL

We need to do right by this planet. Would absolutely love a picture book about the Amazon that sheds light on how desperately we need to care for our natural resources and marginalized societies. #MSWL

Earlier this year I put out into the Universe that I want to see more nonfiction at @bookendslit & the Universe responded. @AgentJessicaA & @wensday95 & I have taken on & sold some amazing & exciting new nonfiction projects. #MSWLJust going to throw out in the universe that I am still looking for some amazing trade MG and YA non-fiction! (PB too, but I'm just not seeing as much NF for older readers in my sub box!) #mswl

A Lizzie Magie picture book would be cool! I had no idea who she was until about thirty seconds ago. #MSWL

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

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?

#MSWL PB NF about either the guy who does the Macy's fireworks or about how firworks werw invented.

At the end of the day, I am looking strong writers who can tell engaging KID friendly stories. #MSWL

I'd like to find a solid author-illustrator. Feel free to check out my pinterest to see my illustration tastes! I am super picky on this one. #MSWLLyrical books will always be some of my favorites, but then tend to be quieter books so I am looking for lyrcial books that have a hook. #MSWL
