[@studiojjk]

Colby! Thank you for your incredible enthusiasm for SUNSHINE. I can’t wait for you to see the finished version with the chapter openers and the epilogue and the colors! 🤘☀️

What an awesome, Colby! Can’t wait to read them all. Thanks so much!

[@sarahblack9388]

Colby, thank you for this AWESOME-tastic list! As I am writing report cards, this was a happy break to hear your ideas. I immediately thought of Kelly Yang's Parachutes when you shared Parachute Kids & was excited to have a book for younger readers to share with my fifth-grade readers. Thank you for your energy~ it is always so much fun to hear your energy and LOVE of books! Thank you!

Love this list! Can’t wait to tell my nieces and nephews about Sunshine. They worked at the camps too!

Such great books. Can't wait to read them. 2023 will be an awesome reading year! Thanks, Colby!

[@ColbySharp]

It's going to be a great year. When is your next book coming out?

[@DONNAGEPHART]

@@ColbySharp It's a chapter book series WELCOME TO THE WOOFINGTON with Lori Houran and Josh Cleland about a posh dog hotel run by and for dogs. A different celebrity/famous pooch shows up each book. Pubs '24 from Abrams. Woof! Woof!

15:03 you definitely have me excited for so many of these titles! Thank you (as always) for book-talking these awesome books. PS: Schu is coming to my school in February-I’m so excited for This Is A Story!

Hey Colby, great recommendations as always. I appreciate what you do to keep us in the great book loop. I am asking a favour please...would you consider mentioning the date the book will be released? As an Aussie librarian in an American School in China, it is a big job ordering the best books for the library as we have to do it 6 months in advance to get the books into Shanghai in time for August.So, I am ordering frantically now. I want everything you suggest, but as some are not out yet, it just adds an extra step that I could do without. I hope you think about this, I am envious of all the ARC's you get your hands on. Cheers from China

Have you read books from Gill Lewis?? He is the British version on Alan Gratz - working for animal rights! Read Moon Bear last year - was a sad book but a must read aloud!

[@ColbySharp]

I have not. Thanks for the heads up!
