- Happy National #Sourdough Bread Day! I’ve baked around 100 sourdough loaves while working on my upcoming #picturebook, #BREADDAYS! I love how baking sourdough is a slow process and how every loaf turns out uniquely different. Here are some of my favorites - from toad-looking ones to leafy ones!
- Bread Days proofs are here! I’m currently going through them page by page, checking all the colors and details 👀 So far, they are looking great! If you are excited about #BreadDays, please #preorder a copy from your favorite bookstore! #picturebook #childrensbook #kidlit

- I had a nice email interview with Sruthi about The Most Perfect Persimmon and how I represented my Korean culture in the book! Full interview: honoraryreporters.korea.net/board/detail... #kidlit
- Also enjoyed learning more about Honorary Reporters and what they do! The program run by the Korean Culture & Information Service under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, & Tourism. The reporters come from all over the world, covering stories about people who represent Korea and Korean culture abroad!

- Really enjoyed listening to @peterbrownstudio.com and @eliotschrefer.bsky.social's discussion today! Big shoutout to the young reader who asked Peter "What was it like to create The Wild Robot?" amid many heady questions like technology, animal ethics, and their portrayal in media. So brave 🙌
