#MSWL for a picture book or MG biography from an #ownvoices author or author-illustrator!! (If this creator is also a librarian that would be 💯!)

This is a picture book. #mswl

A lyrical #OwnVoices PB about a house blessing (or cleansing) ceremony/ritual. There are so many beautiful traditions out there from different cultural/religious backgrounds. #MSWL

This aesthetic and energy is my picture book #MSWL

Since it's #NationalCatDay, this is the perfect day to tweet that I NEED a PB about a cat. (Preferably from an author/illustrator.)

P.S. My cat Maple is sitting on my lap as I type this and she approves this #MSWL item.

Looking at my inbox, wishing it had a fun picture book centering an Asian child. And some without gender roles/stereotypes. And maybe one with ballet. Just thinking in two minutes before a meeting. #mswl

“Picture books based on cultural traditions/history.” @msmariavicente #MSWL bit.ly/2P9Z0aX

Lastly, as a PB writer... PBs! I have a stupid sense of humor so anything funny like Elise Parsley or Jason Carter Eaton. One of my favorites is RL Stine’s LITTLE SHOP OF MONSTERS. #MSWL

#MSWL a picture book about an endearing mosquito that doesn’t understand why everyone is always swatting it. I’m being dead serious who is writing this for me.

Coming late to #MSWL Day: Educational PBs that read like trade ones; character-driven MG; truth-telling YA; all of it diverse; #ownvoices preferred.

Dogger by Shirley Hughes, #TheNightGardener by The Fan Brothers, #NotQuiteNarwhal by Jessie Sima—just a handful of picture books that I wish I had acquired. Send me your charming, timeless #PB projects, please! #MSWL

#MSWL immigrant stories across the board in PB, MG, YA.

#MSWL:
Contemporary, emotional love stories
Sweeping historical fiction
Smart, elevated thrillers
Novels in verse
Picture books with STEM hooks
Anything else that’s voice driven, literary, and innovative!

Forever and always looking for stories that have nerdy, science-driven characters, especially if it is written by a scientist! #PB #MG #YA #scicomm #MSWL
