It’s a book!!! Just received my first copy of THE ARGUERS— this book has been SO many years in the making y’all. In stores May 27, available for pre-order now, link in bio. *** THE ARGUERS has been a journey—I started it pre-ABC AND YOU AND ME, pre-THE TREE IN ME—and I haven’t struggled this much with an ending since THE BOOK OF MISTAKES. So I am thrilled to share it with you all this spring. For now, a little more about the project— “A delightfully preposterous and original fairy tale about a community that forgets how to get along… The first argument was over a brush and a comb, and which would be better for taking a tangle out of the king’s beard. . . soon they argued all the time, until no one could remember when the arguing had started or over what or by whom. They only knew that they had always argued, and that they did it well. Very, very well.” “Thoroughly enchanting, without argument.” - @kirkus_reviews As always, signed and personalized copies of THE ARGUERS can be ordered through my local Indie @browsersbooks and will come with a handmade bookmark (from sketches and outtakes of the book) AND copies of THE ARGUERS ordered from @buyoly will come with a print (of the cover of the book). Links in bio. With so much gratitude to my team at @penguinkids especially @laurihornik and @lilymalcom without whom this story would never have found it’s end. #thearguers @rockypondbooks @penguinclassroom

FROM NORTH AMERICAN TIME by Adrienne Rich “…Suppose you want to write of a woman braiding another woman’s hair— straight down, or with beads and shells In three-strand plaits or corn-rows— you had better know the thickness the length the pattern why she decides to braid her hair how it is done to her what country it happens in what else happens in that country You have to know these things” #fromnorthamericantime #adriennerich

“Thoroughly enchanting, without argument.” The first review of The Arguers is a lovely one from Kirkus— though the full review does contain spoilers, so I have edited it here. (Link to full review in bio.) You can pre-order a signed copy from @browsersbooks (link in bio) #thearguers @rockypondbooks @kirkus_reviews
