  1. @KateMilford I think I might still know the whole song.
  2. I really really love this interview I did with @PCrutcher at the Examiner about Good Night, Laila Tov: examiner.com/article/spotli…
  3. @PBWorkshop Oh, dear. My stars! I hope not. #kidlitchat
  4. @PBWorkshop And it can be a safe, smart way for them to explore it. And PARENTS can be part of convo. #kidlitchat
  5. @PBWorkshop That's true. #kidlitchat
  6. @RosanneParry @TLT16 I've heard such good things about that!
  7. @SarahRettger LOL. I'll get on that.
  8. I don't think swearing belongs in most MG, but when we establish hard rules, we're censoring before a book exists. Suffocating. #kidlitchat
  9. I'm reminded of Tree Grows in Brooklyn, how her teacher made her cross out the word "drunk" and write her dad was "sick." #kidlitchat
  10. @_jesse_andrews_ @TLT16 Yes. Wow. Yes.
  11. @TLT16 I know someone (vaguely) with a suicidal 9 year old. Horrible. #kidlitchat
  12. @thereadingzone I still read both. :) #kidlitchat
  13. We want to protect kids from harsh world, but encoding & obscuring doesn't make sense to me. I want Half Magic AND Hunger Games. #kidlitchat
  14. @JoWhittemore HA #kidlitchat
  15. But! BUT! These words are tricks. What are we trying to police? If the intent is the fbomb, & a kid screams, "FRACK!" ??? #kidlitchat
  16. @TLT16 I loathe iCarly. ANd if *my* kid came home with that I'd say, "That's the same word. I know what your intent its" #kidlitchat
  17. @thereadingzone and we let you think that, honey... <pats> #kidlitchat
  18. @chorkie And because families are so different, there can't be one answer. Which is why we need a range of books. #upwithcussing #kidlitchat
  19. @NeelySSimpson I'm TRYING SO HARD. #kidlitchat
