- Biographies by and about outstanding marginalized folk

ME TOO #MSWL

I used to read CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM out loud with my younger siblings and it used to keep us laughing and so entertained. Picture books that elicit that kind of read-aloud fun are always on my #MSWL

MG or YA that comps to Tamora Pierce’s Tortall Universe, especially THE SONG OF THE LIONESS and IMMORTALS series. Intrigue! Adventure! Mythical creatures! Characters who kick butt! Expansive world building! It’s an eternal #MSWL for me.

I’m really itching for some MG manuscripts that take me on an adventure, especially #own ones about non-Western places and cultures. I love mythology and folklore and spooks and puzzles, and I’m a sucker for a snarky narrator. If this is your book, please send my way! #MSWL

Rounding up a few #mswl tweets that I will now think of as my official #QuarantineMSWL (1/?)

Quarantining gives one time to think. I’d love an epic matzah-finding Passover book. (Why I thought of this...no idea.) I want action. Clever silliness. Adventure. Would the four sons be involved? Who knows! A picture book of epic proportions...to find the elusive matzah. #mswl

Picture books that celebrate food and family in the vein of FRY BREAD by Kevin Noble Maillard. #MSWL

Again, still looking for that capybara picture book #MSWL !

I'm forever on the hunt for more funny picture books. Please send me your humor! I'm open to all types: loud, zany, quirky, strange, dry, subversive, potty, punny. Whatever you got, send it my way! #MSWL
