Thanks Doylestown Bookshop for a great #EducatorNight! Looking forward to pairing #TheYellowBus by Loren Long with Novel Effect 📚🎶 ! Although perfect for #Back2School , it’s also subtly about the power of possibility. Wonder if any retired North Penn Transportation vehicles housed goats? 😏🐐🚌

Got to talk to MacKids Books team about making The Yellow Bus, plus visit a few of the real-life stars of the book. I've shared clips of this video before, but now that the book is out in the world, here’s more behind-the-scenes.⁦⁦ ⁦⁦Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚 youtu.be/PcyTiM_pYxs?si…

For anyone curious about the model in last week’s NYTimes profile, here’s behind scenes vid clip. The story takes place in a gorge with a valley surrounded by mountains, hard to visualize in my head. Built a 3D model so I could see it all in front of me. MacKids Books Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚

Still get a kick out of seeing one of my books in the wild! Here's The Yellow Bus in my local Target--hard to believe it! Let me know if you've seen The Yellow Bus in your local store! MacKids Books Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚 Macmillan Publishers

This is a really great dive into visual writing for picture books. Thanks, Katrina!

Let ya in on a secret. There’s dust and dog hair floating around my studio. Sometimes it gets mixed into a painting. Can anyone spot a Charlie hair in this spread of The Yellow Bus? Left it in there because I love my boy so much. MacKids Books Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚

I just love the way the yellow bus box turned out. It’s a great interactive exercise to go along with the book for students to think about joy and purpose. Thank you, Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚, for making it happen. And thank you, Lori, for sharing this! MacKids Books

Loved this podcast interview with Bianca. It’s a dive into The Yellow Bus but also art influences, what I did in illustration before children’s books, and how children’s literature became my focus and passion. Thank you, Bianca! MacKids Books Macmillan Children's School & Library 📚

Today’s the day! Super excited to share Loren Long’s The Yellow Bus with students! Excited that they’ll fill her with joy throughout the year. And two lucky students will win signed copies on Friday! 🎉❤️🚌

Thank you for taking the time to write about The Yellow Bus, Betsy. I really appreciate your thoughtful, honest takes.
