And here I am with Lisa Yee. Terrific festival with zillions of kids who love BOOKS!

At the wonderful North Texas Teen Book Festival, with authors Veera Hiranandani and Shawn Amos

Seeing old friends and making new ones gives me life! And then! AND THEN - the chance to hang out with 16,000 educators and readers!!! Thank you for everything #NTTBF24 !

Yes, if it were done well.

It's always a treat..and a surprise...to see new jackets on old books. They did a nice job on this one.

I'd love to do away with the car chase. But of course movies need ACTION and the book doesn't have any, really.

shout out to Lois Lowry for restoring my teenage son’s love to read. He insisted I read #thegiver to discuss with him. Read in 3.5 hours, beautiful book. 🩷❤️

Love this! That the Krupnik family is alive and well, still. I miss them, myself!

Lois Lowry Hi Ms. Lowry! I'm a librarian and my colleagues and I discuss literary heroines on our podcast. We just finished Anastasia Krupnik and we were wondering: What was written on Washburn Cummings' t-shirt? #TheseBooksMadeMe

Artificial insemination, I assume. Sperm donors.

I’m not aware of a Russian edition, unfortunately

AUTUMN STREET has always been my own personal favorite out of the 50-some books I’ve written. The woman I called Tatie in the book was a real person and such an important part of my childhood.

Indeed I am! And you must be British. That book was titled simply AUTUMN STREET in the USA

Oh dear, we can only guess. I’m an optimist though

They do indeed. And there are three books that follow THE GIVER

Thanks! 😘

A Republican-dominated school board in Bucks County, Pennsylvania made national headlines for banning books. Then last week, Democrats won all 5 seats and swept them out of power.
