It makes a big difference for School Visits when librarians and educators share my books ahead of time. Here are some of my recent favorite displays created by hardworking staff and students! Thanks for the love. 💚📚 I particularly enjoy when the universes of my books get mixed together. There’s also a portrait of me that looks like Hemingway. (I’ll take it :) by @brianyanish

It’s a heart breaking time in America for our friends and neighbors with vicious government actions against immigrants and our own citizens. I’m standing in support of good humans in Minnesota. I’m donating a signed book and original art to Publishing for Minnesota. If you can help by bidding on any of the incredible donations including artwork and critiques with top editors from the kid lit community please do. Auction opens Thursday 1/29 and only goes until Friday 1/30. Active link in my bio. Thank you 💚 by @brianyanish
