Tip for those posting good news about picture books & tagging author: Pls tag/mention ILLUSTRATOR too, esp if you are using their art to help promote a book. For info re: how you can get involved: http://www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/ ">https://www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/">... @picturesmeanb #PicturesMeanBusiness

cont& #39;d One reason I appreciate working with @michaelianblack: when people tag him when they& #39;re saying nice things about our books, he tags me in his reply. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Bücher" aria-label="Emoji: Bücher"> Just one example: https://twitter.com/michaelianblack/status/1243278867416207361">https://twitter.com/michaelia...

Reason I felt compelled to start this thread: I saw congratulatory tweets about a picture bk written & illus by kidlit friends of mine, but only author was being mentioned/tagged.
