POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Here is what makes our 1st Children’s Author Fair so special: at any time throughout the day you can catch a story or illustration demo scattered throughout the museum. This brings the stories to life for the children, and helps them discover new favorites.

Had the most wonderful time at @silverunicornbooks yesterday seeing friends and family. Huge thank you to everyone who came, to @cwrobinson and the staff for organizing and making amazing Last Resort: Ghost Light cookies. And another huge thank you to my awesome sister @donnafarizan who pronounces our last name differently than I do, but that’s ok 😂❤️#indiebookstore

Join us for Children’s Story Time with award-winning author Casey W. Robinson on Saturday, 8/8 at 11:00 a.m. at Ten Trees Books!

Casey will be reading her latest picture book, Small Things Mended, which is a New England Book Award winner, a Christopher Award winner, a Crystal Kite Award winner, and received a 2025 Massachusetts Book Award Honor. It was also chosen for SLJ’s Best Picture Books 2024 list.

Kindly Cecil has a broken heart, but when the kids in his neighborhood start asking him to fix their valuables—a music box, a watch, a stuffed elephant—he gradually finds that he knows just how to do this mending. And in return, his circle of new friends offers the mending that his own heart needs.

This gentle, kindhearted story brings the generations of a community together to sustain and enrich one another, and it beautifully showcases the value of fixing things―and loving their history―rather than quickly discarding them.

What a time we had at Children's Institute! We got to see bookselling, author, and publisher friends both new and old, Casey and Lorie got to dispense wisdom on panels, and we arrive back home armed with new ideas and enthusiasm! And yes, Paul did very briefly get to be an InvestiGator! 😂

Today's newsletter has landed in your inbox. In it, our events manager Casey wrote about the recently departed Jane Yolen, and what she meant to Casey and the KidLit community in general. We were certainly very sad to hear of Jane's passing, and know that her memory will be eternal.

Years ago I met Jane Yolen and her daughter Heidi Stemple at one of my first New England SCBWI conferences (the second pic is of Jane as the queen at NESCBWI’s 50th!). I couldn’t have predicted how much that meeting would change my life for the better. Whether listening to Jane on a panel or around her kitchen table, I learned as much from her spirit of generosity as I did from her deep expanse of knowledge of the craft, history, and industry of children’s literature. She was the first person who made me think I could possibly be an editor by noticing and remarking upon my ability to critique effectively. She and Heidi rescued me from actual and metaphorical storms. She supported and nurtured my work in so many ways, and most of all had a heavy hand in creating one of my all-time favorite humans (@heidieys) and introducing one of the most powerful friendship and creative circles in my life (🦤🦤🦤🦤). I am among the countless lives, minds, and hearts touched by Jane, the wings of her words, the soaring flight of her kindness. My heart aches for Heidi, Jason, Adam, their children, and their extended family. I send all of my love to them during this raw time. Rest in story, dear Jane.
