Love this @ALA_Booklist piece by two-time Printz honoree @candiceiloh on writing in verse, truth, and the stakes of that when writing for young people. booklistonline.com/Writers-Reader…
Our February genre highlight is Novels in Verse: Every Body Looking by @candiceiloh “is a testament to the beauty of Black girls, their circumstances, bodies, and cultures.” Check it out. #WeAreMehlville @Mehlville_HS
Congratulations to Candice Iloh. SALT THE WATER is a 2024 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book. Huzzah, @candiceiloh!!
Unbelievable poem by Palestinian-American poet Hala Alyan
So many things are complicated. Genocide is not one of them. It's super straight forward in fact.
What a Monday morning! Unbelievably proud of my stunningly talented clients who won ALA Media Awards today: @candiceiloh (Printz Honor), Claire Forrest (Schneider Family Honor), Dahlia Adler (Sydney Taylor Honor) & @JustinePWinans (Stonewall Honor). Cake for breakfast!!
what i love most about literary awards is the fact that it means more kids can find my books in libraries and that has always been my goal. what moves me about receiving the Printz honor for #SALTTHEWATER is the fact that librarians made this call. librarians are for our kids.

If a poet has books, they’ve already told you everything you need to know about them. It’s. In. The. Books. Yeah, I know…that’s the speaker. I said what I said.
i’m sorry i don’t respect opinions that try to justify slaughtering whole communities in mass. i don’t respect opinions that think they are larger and more important than the right to life.

JUST NOW AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY: 500 Jews and allies took over the island to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. Just like Palestinians, so many of our ancestors yearned to breathe free — and we took over the Statue of Liberty to say never again, for anyone. #CeasefireNOW #LetGazaLive

@candiceiloh I am convinced that present-day earth is actually purgatory.
the mystery of iniquity.
Israel killed 39 Palestinian journalists Israel killed 99 UN workers Israel bombed 59 mosques Israel killed 4,500 children The masses know Israel is carrying out a genocide The masses know Israel is targeting EVERYONE in Gaza That's why the masses want a ceasefire
Our time on this earth is so brief. We might as well be brave.
Do you see how once people started talking about Palestine they also started talking about Congo, Sudan, Tigray, the Sami people, Hawai'i and all of the everyone fighting for their right to be free? Freedom is as infectious as it is just and no one is free until they ALL are.
the other day i ran into my friend, friend's two children, & friend's mom in a restaurant. & the kids both ran up to me screaming "Vernon's here! Vernon's here!" & gave me 4 hugs bc they been counting the amount of hugs they want/need in a day. my heart🥹

It has been exemplified in history time after time that Palestinian resilience stands riveted in the face of mass extermination. “Hatta narak jannah” (even your hell *palestine’s* is paradise) is what we grew up singing. Your attempts to erase a people with a history that—
