In case you missed them, here are a few of my favorite children’s literature/publishing tweets from the last week or so.

Can already feel myself getting heat for this post but it’s about me okay pic.twitter.com/wQtm81eVMp

Four years ago today, I wrote this Tweet. That novel I was so afraid to query was The Hate U Give. @byobrooks responded, I sent it to him, he signed me as a client, and the rest is history. Never imagined that book would change my life. Happy Tweetiversary, @byobrooks 👊🏽 https://t.co/nNUntQIPYZ

I just got an email from a Catholic school librarian who told me she purchased BREAKOUT but won’t put it in the library because she doesn’t like the way it discusses bias in the criminal justice system. I have some thoughts on this…

GDS always hits me so hard.
He is so, so funny and also the master of capturing the pain and disappointment of having a bad dad. This is fantastic.

Why do people keep saying I look like the guy from Breaking Bad??? pic.twitter.com/zdpmAq6j57

Say what you will about Roald Dahl, you have to admit his first name isn't a name.

After reading the William Steig piece that @Rumaan wrote for @NewYorker I revisited The Magic Bone with @jknotjk and it is SO INTENSE when you map it onto the human world. Look at his ramshackle house he takes Pearl to after abducting her. pic.twitter.com/RGTNim9LsF
