'When confrontations happened for us, I found myself thinking about this line more often, do you think I was born yesterday?' —Mandy Robek enjoyembracelearning.substack.com/p/louder-than-…

It's time for one last adventure with Ivan and his friends... 🦍🐕🐘

Such a treat listening to the one and only Katherine Applegate this evening. Thank you, Interabang Books, for hosting such a wonderful event. 🦍🐘🐕💜

I met some friends of John Schu this evening. 💜
They were so excited to tell Katherine Applegate about their signed books at her event in Dallas. So much joy. 🥹

The class set from the Reading Rally of Katherine Applegate The One and Only Family arrived today and the kids were SO excited! They couldn’t wait to start reading together, but of course John Schu they all needed to smell the new book smell first. ❤️

'The Giver by Lois Lowry is a book that completely passed me by, despite being an international smash hit and made into a film. I’ve found reference to it a couple of times in recent weeks, including in John Schu’s Louder than Hunger.' — Robin Brooks geekdad.com/2024/05/may-20…

.John Schu kindly ran a cover-reveal Q&A with me and illustrator @TavaresBooks for THE SHAPE OF THINGS: HOW MAPMAKERS PICTURE OUR WORLD. It shows how people from different cultures, over thousands of years, have combined art and science to create their own unique maps.

'For the cover, I decided to focus more on the maps themselves, incorporating several maps from different times in history into one image.' —Matt Tavares mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-sh…

'Matt Tavares' illustrations will inspire a sense of wonder about how people across history have pictured the shape of things.' —Dean Robbins mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-sh…

'The Shape of Things: How Mapmakers Picture Our World’s cover was a lot of fun to create.' —Matt Tavares mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-sh…
