My picture book bio of Rousseau, with #illustrations by Amanda Hall, is for budding #artists of all ages who face rejection. (In fact, I was at a low point when I wrote the manuscript). It later won a PEN award. Pubbed by a great small press. #writing #kidlit #ChildrensLiterature

A belated #introduction. I’m an author of #childrensliterature, mostly #picturebook biographies of feminists, artists and others who bucked the system. Easily distracted by smart posts about saving #democracy, #unions, history and responsible #journalism. Sometimes I teach #writing. Emotional support person for my cat, Emma Goldman.

@dainybernstein @litstudies guilty as charged. I'm the author of a picture book about labor activist Clara Lemlich, and also a Hanukkah story about an Israeli immigrant. #childrensliterature #kidlit

I have recently tweaked the cover of this possible #OER, too. #KidsReadTheBestStuff #ChildrensLiterature

I played around with @canva in order to create a visual for the #ChildrensLiterature #OER I'm working on. I present (to the dying audience of twitter?) a draft of my current flowchart of chapters:

#introduction Hi, I’m Sybil. I #teach college composition #fyw and #CreativeWriting (and I’ll be attempting #ChildrensLiterature this spring) at a #tyc in the upper #midwest. I really like watching reruns of #TheOffice and #Parks&Rec; I also have a weird soft spot for the #Bravo reality shows (#Housewives, etc.), too. Beyond #OER & #ungrading, I’m interested in ways to teach #OutsideTheLMS
