Magical PBs! A few favorites: The Night Gardener, The Antlered Ship, Ocean Meets Sky, The Bear and the Piano, Remarkables, Lights on Cotton Rock, The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore, Lola Shapes the Sky, Dream Animals. #MSWL

I just...really want a picture book about dogs. Or manatees. Or both. #MSWL

PBs that reflect contemporary families + their real life experiences. Examples: Hair Love, My Papi Has a Motorcycle, Tell Me a Tattoo Story, Honeysmoke, Under My Hijab, Alma, Julian is a Mermaid. #MSWL

And now I’ll start listing off some specifics! At the top of my #MSWL: PB author/illustrators w/ a very distinctive signature look.

Some of my faves: Juana Martinez-Neal, Vashti Harrison, the Fan Brothers, Emily Winfield Martin, David Litchfield, Anne Lambelet, Sophie Blackall.

For #mswl day, here are my true loves: #SFF (adult and #YA), #ownvoices #nf #mg, #pb, #history and #science for kids, or...surprise me. Thank you for building #mswl , @jsinsheim

#MSWL for PBs here: narrative non-fiction, that is NOT biographies. Think SKULLS by Blair Thornburgh, or PEOPLE DON'T BITE PEOPLE by Lisa Wheeler. Give me interesting perspectives and facts and knowledge!

BOB ROSS PICTURE BOOK. How has no one sent me this yet? #MSWL

In kidlit more broadly (PB-YA) I am on the hunt for more NF that teaches and inspires in a fun accessible way. I lean towards non-fiction that focuses on a specific event or person, that really digs in to give us a clear picture as opposed to broad themes #MSWL

My #mswl hasn't changed - still wanting books about clowns & queerness related to trickster figures, still wanting all types of found families, still wanting MG horror & spoop, I would LOVE more picture book illustrators, & a comedic YA protag coping w ED (incidental, not plot).

I have an empty query inbox and an updated #MSWL page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/bren…. Can't wait to read great picture book, middle grade, + YA submissions.

Speaking of new clients, my #MSWL has been updated! Yes, I’m looking for graphic novels now! Plus, a continued call for commercial YA, literary MG, and PB author-illustrators. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

I'm only open to picture books that fit my #MSWL - right now, I want heartwarming pbs that address special needs, LGBTQ+ families, or diaspora experiences.
Also, funny word-play books like THE WONKY DONKEY.

So many great pitches on #PitMad today! If you are a literary agent who snagged some good proposals, keep me and @AndrewJDeYoung at @BeamingBooksMN in mind. Here's a list of some of the topics/themes I'm currently interested in: naomikrueger.com/2019/09/05/msw… #MSWL #kidlit #PB #MG

Ilove a good 2nd person/interactive picture book and Jory John’s I WILL CHOMP YOU is one of my favorites. Buford is a little mad he got no cake, though.

My best tip for writing these: have a very… instagram.com/p/B19EaQWHPvR/…

What picture books stuck w you that explore death/grief? I’m interested in this topic as both a reader adding to my library and an editor building my #mswl. They definitely exist but can be harder to find (& there should be more!) Here’s a thread of some I love. Please add to it!
