Happy New Year!

Hello, PBB friends! Just a very quick post to wish you all a happy new year! May it be filled with lots of great picture books!

And I hope you won’t mind if I share a giveaway: If you’re a classroom teacher or librarian, you can enter to win a free virtual author visit from one of eight AANHPI authors/illustrators simply by subscribing to the Uplift AANHPI Kidlit Newsletter over on Substack before January 1st. The author/illustrators are: Dow Phumiruk, Jyoti Rajan Gopal, Malia Maunakea, Maria Marianayagam, Nicole Chen, Pat Tanumihardja, and me, Andrea Wang. Nearly all of us write and/or illustrate picture books (as well as other genres/formats). And even if you’re not an educator, the Uplift AANHPI Kidlit Newsletter features books by AANHPI creators, upcoming author events, and occasional recipes, crafts, and history tidbits. I hope you’ll check it out!

Looking forward to sharing more great PBs with you in 2026!
