Challah For Shabbat Tonight is out in the world, and it’s one of my favorite projects ever.✨I fell in love with Sara’s beautiful rhythmic story on the very first read. Here, you can see the process, from the finished spread to the approved sketch, the rough from the storyboard, and lastly, the character sketch that initiated this scene in my mind.Crack, plop, yolks collide,Salt then honey, side by side.Oil stickly slides in too.“Beat,” says Grandma, and I do.Beautifully written by @sarahollyackerman, edited by the wonderful Sarah Alpert and published by the lovely team at @algonquinyr. by @algonquinyr

EVERY HERO NEEDS AN ORIGIN STORY Meet Win “Coal” Keegan, an ordinary kid who, in a moment of danger, learns he can turn invisible. Now he has to figure out how. Is he a superhero? Some kind of mutant? A science experiment? And how does any of this tie into the birth family he never knew? As Coal searches for answers and slowly learns to control his invisibility, he turns to his foster family and friends both new and old for help. But they soon discover they’re not the only ones looking for a Black boy with superpowers, and the situation is far stranger—and more dangerous—than they ever could have expected. Boy 2.0 by @traceybaptistewrites hits shelves October 1st. Preorder your copy today via our link in bio! ⬆️Trailer created by Tracey Baptiste. #TraceyBaptiste #MGLit #KidsBooks #BookTrailer #KidsBookstagram #KidLit by @algonquinyr

☀️ ONLY in September, stock your ereader with ALA Rainbow Round Table Top Ten Picks CAMP QUILTBAG and TELL ME AGAIN HOW A CRUSH SHOULD FEEL for just $2.99 each, wherever ebooks are sold!More about CAMP QUILTBAG:From the acclaimed authors of Hurricane Season and Ana on the Edge, an unforgettable story about the importance of and joy in finding a community, for fans of Alex Gino and Ashley Herring-Blake. Twelve-year-old Abigail (she/her/hers) is so excited to spend her summer at Camp QUILTBAG, an inclusive retreat for queer and trans kids. She can’t wait to find a community where she can be herself—and, she hopes, admit her crush on that one hot older actress to kids who will understand.Thirteen-year-old Kai (e/em/eir) is not as excited. E just wants to hang out with eir best friend and eir parkour team. And e definitely does not want to think about the incident that left eir arm in a sling—the incident that also made Kai’s parents determined to send em somewhere e can feel like emself.After a bit of a rocky start at camp, Abigail and Kai make a pact: If Kai helps Abigail make new friends, Abigail will help Kai's cabin with the all-camp competition. But as they navigate a summer full of crushes, queer identity exploration, and more, they learn what's really important. Camp QUILTBAG is a heartfelt story full of the joy that comes from being and loving yourself. More about TELL ME AGAIN HOW A CRUSH SHOULD FEEL:At Armstead Academy, everyone knows everything about everyone. Well, everyone thinks they know everything . . .Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is a relief. As an Iranian American, she’s different enough; if word got out that Leila liked girls, life would be twice as hard. But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would. As she carefully confides in trusted friends about Saskia’s confusing signals, Leila begins to figure out that all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and some are keeping surprising secrets of their own. by @algonquinyr
