@thewildrobot is now a gorgeous animated film from @dreamworks and it just opened in the UK. Maybe I’m biased, I don’t know, but I think everyone should go watch #thewildrobotmovie and also read #thewildrobot book that inspired the movie (published in the UK by @piccadilly.press and @bonnierbooks_uk ). You can thank me later!

With so much excitement for @thewildrobot movie by @dreamworks it seems like a good time to announce that my next book is THE WILD ROBOT ON THE ISLAND which is a picture book depicting Roz’s island life in big colorful illustrations. I had such a great time making this book and I can’t wait for you to check it out. It pubs in June but you can pre-order at the link in my bio. #thewildrobot #bookstagram #books #childrensbooks #robots

Every story has a beginning. 💛📚 Here are a few fun facts about our Champion for Children Honorees: 🌟 At just six years old, Peter Brown (@peterbrownstudio ) turned his story The Adventure of Me and My Dog “Buffy” into a real book—with a little help from his mom.�Every story has a beginning. Often, it starts with someone who believes in you. 🌟 @KwameAlexander has written books everywhere, from hotel rooms to airplanes, and even at a Panera Bread. �Reading and writing aren’t confined to classrooms. They happen everywhere. And through her leadership and dedication, Tinny Weintraub, our Mimi Levin Lieber Legacy Award Honoree, has helped create the kind of spaces where these stories, and the children behind them, can grow and thrive.

10 years ago today THE WILD ROBOT was published by @littlebrownyoungreaders . Since then I’ve written two more children’s novels in the series, plus I created a big, illustrated Wild Robot picture book. Oh and there was that gorgeous animated film from @dreamworks , too. To celebrate all this good stuff we’re releasing a new collectors edition of the original book, coming out on May 5 (but you can preorder now wherever books are sold). I redesigned and reillustrated the cover with lots of snazzy gold foil details (including sprayed edges), I illustrated new endpapers, I added color to all of the interior illustrations (which were originally black and white), I wrote a new author’s note and added new bonus behind-the-scenes pages at the end. I’m really excited about this edition, and I hope Wild Robot fans will check it out! #thewildrobot #books #childrensbooks #bookstagram #robots

As the author of The Wild Robot series I read a lot, especially about robotics + artificial intelligence, and this is without a doubt one of the most important books published in my lifetime. In NEXUS @yuval_noah_harari lays out the evolution of information + technology throughout human history, and explains how A.I. is unprecedented in the ways that it will change our lives. One thing is clear; we absolutely must have robust systems of checks + balances to keep this tech from spiraling completely out of control, but so far those systems aren’t in place. So we must pressure our political + tech leaders to step up now, while they still can. This book is so well researched + written that it would be a pure joy to read if the subjects weren’t so concerning. It’s vital that we are informed on these subjects, and I hope everyone reads NEXUS. The stakes could not be higher. #books #bookstagram #artificialintelligence #ai

There's so much serious stuff happening in the world that self-promotion feels kinda gross, but @aaronreynoldsbooks and I have a new children's book coming out on Tuesday, and we hope it'll bring a little joy to young readers. Fans of our Creepy books MUST check out UNSETTLING SALAD! It's weird and hilarious. FYI, if you're in the Boston area I've got bookstore events at @anunlikelystory this Tuesday at 6:30pm and at @belmontbook this Wednesday at 6pm. Happy reading, friends! #books #childrensbooks #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks
