AWESOME THREAD!

Twitter is falling apart but I feel inspired after attending & presenting at #NCTE22 so let's make a thread of Muslims authors and/or illustrators who have books coming out in 2023. Let's go:

I was too busy at #NCTE22 to remember, but November 19th was the one-year anniversary of my #book!! A lot has happened in this year, but one of the best things that’s happened is the number of folks picking up the work and sharing it with others. I put my heart into that book, and I’ve heard that my heartwork is resonating with the hearts of others. I’m so glad that it’s a year old, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

I didn’t take many pictures, but I enjoyed myself at #NCTE22… I needed to be with my friends again! I’m usually quite the #introvert, but I have to be “on” at #conferences in ways that can sometimes be draining. I’ve found, though, that hanging with #friends keeps me going! Here is one pic of me with #YA and #MG authors #JerryCraft, #NicStone, and #GeorgeJohnson. I’m so excited I got to meet them in person. The other is a pic of me and some folx I couldn’t do #academia without!

I spent this weekend at the #NCTE22 conference, and I got my entire life. I did the presentation thing, of course, but the highlight of the conference was the ability to hang out with mentors and friends for a few days. What a joy to have so many people I love all in one space! ❤️❤️❤️

Also disproved by science: the idea that my pandemic is over and attending huge unmasked conferences is safe for both you and the communities you’re returning home to! #NCTE22 🦠 🦠 ❤️

And if those educators interact with a few highly contagious potentially debilitating viruses and bring those viruses back to classrooms where kids are already falling ill at alarming rates that’s just a bonus am I right? #NCTE22 🦠 ❤️

Remember those @Scholastic book fairs you humans all loved as kids? Well at #NCTE22 Scholastic totally held a fair for us viruses! SO great. I can’t wait to follow all these educators back to their classrooms to infect their book-loving students. Thanks Scholastic! 🦠 ❤️

Pediatric ERs may be overflowing but does that stop children’s booksellers like @Scholastic@twitter.com from supporting huge unmasked superspreader events? Don’t be ridiculous! Gotta sell those books … and kids in the ICU need quality reads too after all! 🦠 ❤️ #NCTE22

Learning from the #TeachLivingPoets crew fills my cup at NCTE every single year. #NCTE22

Watching unmasked authors sign books for unmasked teachers who will then return to school to teach unmasked students fills me and my fellow viruses with hope too! Thanks for being part of the chain of transmission writers! 🦠 ❤️ #ncte2022 #ncte22

I’m at #NCTE22 and I’m seeing ALL THE PEOPLE and it’s honestly a BIT MUCH but it’s also making me INCREDIBLY HAPPY

I have no voice. Like, really, very much almost none. So the implosion of the bird app is bad, because it seems like the universe is forcing me into silence on all sides...but not here? 😅 Pray for me 😂🤣 #NCTE22

ATTENTION #ncte2022 #NCTE22 ! Harold is worried you won't notice him, so he thought up a crazy plan! I agreed to tweet this for him! Please re-tweet to share the news!

I've decided to offer an incentive at my #NCTE22 signing! Show up at the Chronicle booth on Saturday at 4:30n and I'll name a cat after you! What's better than that? Such an honor! All I have to do now is find a bunch of people who'll let me rename their cats

I had an interesting burst of thoughts re: nobody showing up for my signing on Saturday. The thoughts about no one showing up aren't new; the interesting part is how much calmer about it I feel than I might have 3, 5, or especially 10 years ago. Levine Querido and Chronicle will presumably both have people there. I like those people! Also, if nobody shows up, there'll be ARCs right there, waiting for me, softly calling "Mike...Mike...we belong together, Mike"

I got invited to #noraebang at #NCTE22 (I love to sing) and while I'm not going - it's even more of a hellish sensory experience than restaurants - I'm happy to have been invited. After decades of feeling excluded (a feeling that hasn't ever left me entirely) it still feels borderline miraculous to be included by people I like and respect

This weekend at #NCTE22 I'll be meeting up with friends in restaurants several times, and restaurants are a kind of sensory hell for this particular #ActuallyAutistic person, so if I'm at a restaurant with you, rest assured that I really, really, really want to see you. And also that I might not hear more than 30-35% of what you say during the meal

Who am I going to see at #ncte #ncte22 this weekend? #teachers #kidlit pals? I’m paneling & signing Fri-Sun!
