This October 17th-18th, please join me at the 30th annual Gowanus Open Studios! Hosted by Arts Gowanus, Gowanus Open Studios is Brooklyn’s biggest celebration of local art and artists; hundreds of artists across dozens of venues in the greater Gowanus neighborhood will open their doors, giving the public a rare glimpse inside the former factories, warehouses, and studio buildings of this vibrant neighborhood. I’ll be on hand to discuss my work, share my process, and showcase my latest project, The Great Pumpkin Rescue, at the Dakoit Pictures studio: 200 6th street, studio 3B! #artsgowanus, #gos2026, #gowanusopenstudios2026 and #keepgowanuscreative prints by @brooklynarchival who I highly recommend!

What a joy to be in conversation at the Brooklyn Book Festival last week with some of my favorite writers – @jelani1906, @anand_gopal, and my friend and collaborator @julia__angwin. All are people I could listen to all day and who have taught me so much.

Thanks to @menchaca for facilitating a great conversation on movements and dissent. The event was taped by CSPAN and I hope to be able to share a recording soon. Grateful to the @bkbookfest for bringing us together.

🦦 We had such an incredible time celebrating 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑶𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 and 𝑳𝒂 𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆 with Eduardo Halfon and María José de Tellería in NYC!💚

💫 From inspiring conversations with readers, students, and educators, to memorable events across New York, every stop offered a chance to share this extraordinary story and connect with the community that makes children’s literature so special.

🌿 Together, we explored the quiet magic of everyday moments and the small things that become part of our lives, at the heart of g 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑶𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓, while celebrating the creative collaboration between Eduardo’s storytelling and María José’s beautiful illustrations.

⏩ Swipe through for glimpses of some favorite moments from the tour!

💚 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and to the wonderful hosts, partners, and readers who made this journey possible. Thank you for welcoming this story so warmly and making every stop along the way especially meaningful.❣️@sullaluna.nyc @bkbookfest @svanyc @eumiel @st.hildas_st.hughs @loftypigeonbooks
