We can finally let the cat out of the bag! THE NEW CAT has its first review and it's sparkling! Thank you, Kirkus! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Graphic designed with a blue background, multiple stars and black cats, a poloroid of a child and a cat, and the cover of THE NEW CAT. Excerpted text from a review reads: “Life lessons learned from an older (and furrier) sibling...Lucianovic and Park dive deep into the sweetest aspects of sibling and pet affection. Lucianovic’s understated prose strikes the right note, tender but never sentimental or cloying. It’s Park’s art, however, that makes this a true standout...A twist on both new baby and mortality of pet tales, all the stronger for the merger.” —Kirkus, in a starred review

Completely. This was mine for a full 30 minutes last night when I told her I wouldn’t give her wet food until she finished her dry.

Ridiculous attempt to imitate Europa Editions. Just look at the ChatGPT bit they left in. @victoriastrauss.com

Back cover of the picture book THE NEW CAT that features praise for the book TOUCH THE SKY by the same team who is bringing you THE NEW CAT. There is a black cat's tail in the foreground.

Look what just sauntered into our house today!! From the entire team that made you soar with TOUCH THE SKY, here's our new collaboration! (cat-laboration??) You are going to want to pore over the details on every page.

I've read the NYT piece, made my 5calls.org, and kissed my cats. Now I'm going for a long hike on a foggy beach. I need my vitamin Karl.

A graphic with a black background and flames on the side reads: If the National Ambassador of Children’s Literature is not allowed to speak out against book bans, you can.

Call your reps and tell them to oppose H.R. 2616, the PROTECT Kids Act, and H.R. 2617, the Say No to Indoctrination Act.

These bills will ban books, endanger vulnerable LGBTQ+ students, and unfairly punish schools and parents for protecting these students' privacy and safety.

Today is a good day to fight fascism. Includes logos for Authors Against Book Bans and 5calls.org

Literally why is this always happening, @caltrain.com? Starting to feel like the EMUs are a serious downgrade. "Plan ahead"?Unacceptable for MANY reasons. @caltrainalerts.bsky.social

I'm out here saying "bruh" on Nextdoor like my 17 y.o. won't see it, but white people are being SO FUCKING WHITE.

A next door post complaining about displays at Menlo Park library being divisive when they are actually being FUCKING inclusive for fucking sakes.

It's the end of poetry month so still time to share this brilliant poem from my now-13-y.o.. He wrote it at the early days COVID lockdown in April 2020 when he was a 1st grader, frustrated about writing poetry.

Poem on lined paper reads

I think
I had
an idea for a poem
But now
it is out of my mind
and wandering around
the house
somewhere

They went to an event given by a guy who has restricted their access, called them "piggy", told them to shut up, lied to them, and called for violence against them. AMONG SO MANY OTHER REPREHENSIBLE INDIGNITIES. And I should feel ... bad for them?
