COVID-19 Resources from the #Kidlit Community

Many authors, illustrators, publishers, and other members of the children’s literature world are offering virtual storytimes, live art tutorials, downloadable activity sheets, and other ways to give kids (and the caretakers they live with!) something special to look forward to during these strange days we are in. Below is a working list of free resources from the kidlit community. Add more in the comments below! I’ll continue to add to this list during the duration of school closures and event cancellations. Community is as important as ever even while we create physical distance among ourselves. Stay safe and be gentle with yourselves and each other.
