I loved interviewing @lxgino about their new #mg novel, out June 7 from @Scholastic: ALICE AUSTEN LIVED HERE. A great story about queer history, questioning stereotypes and what makes a family a family @MGBookVillage #kidlit #LGBTQ #Pride2022 #PrideMonth https://mgbookvillage.org/2022/06/06/interview-with-alex-gino-about-alice-austen-lived-here/

My interview with @jamesbirdwriter is up today @MGBookVillage. Funny, heartwarming #MG #fiction about a boy who gets a chance to turn his life around. I loved this glimpse into Ojibwe traditions, & the story is great. #kidlit @MacKidsBooks #mgbookchat https://mgbookvillage.org/2022/05/02/interview-with-james-bird-about-the-second-chance-of-benjamin-waterfalls/
