Here are my notes from this one: "We are a multitude, not defined by any one thing. Lovely lyrical language. Powerful."
Yup.

Modern Fairytales and Excessive Tresses: Corinna Luyken Talks The Arguers Corinna Luyken joins us today! We talk aesthetics and vibes and the mental anguish a parent endures when their kid refuses to allow their hair to be brushed (or cut!).

The Arguers

@corinnaluyken.bsky.social

The title and the cover made me pick this up. I was not disappointed. My little enjoyed the ridiculous things they argued about in the story. Grab this one.

Ever find yourself arguing with your kids over the silliest things and wonder, "How did we get here?" 🤦‍♀️

The latest Growing Readers episode with @corinnaluyken.bsky.social explores exactly this through her new picture book THE ARGUERS.

The Arguers: A Charming Illustrated Parable about the Absurdity of Self-righteousness Perhaps the most perilous consequence of uncertain times, times that hurl us into helplessness and disorientation, is that they turn human beings into opinion machines. We dope our pain and confusi…

On uncertain times, false certainties, nuance and understanding: Maria Popova, author of one of my very favorite newsletters, shares her thoughts on THE ARGUERS: www.themarginalian.org/2025/06/11/t...

A book review graphic for The Arguers by Corinna Luyken. On the left side, a large white quotation mark introduces a review quote in white text against a dark green background. The quote reads: 'I believe that the very best picture books are those that manage to capture the hearts and imaginations of their youngest readers, while also speaking truth to those who are a little longer in the tooth. By that measure, and so many others, The Arguers is a triumph. I love this book, y'all. And I'm guessing many of the readers in your life will, too.' On the right side, the book cover of The Arguers is displayed. The cover illustration features a girl in a vintage-style dress with puffed sleeves and a bow in her dark, styled-up hair. She leans forward over a curved hedge filled with green leaves and small yellow and pink flowers, as if peering downward or reaching for something unseen. The book title, The Arguers, appears in black serif font against a white background. Below the quote, at the bottom of the graphic, a cursive gold text reads: 'review by Jennifer LaGarde.'

One of my favorite parts of writing this review for @corinnaluyken.bsky.social's new #picturebook, The Arguers, is that it gave me the opportunity to revisit one of my earlier book memories. The communal experience of picture books is magic! #TLSkyChat #TLChat #KidLit #EduSky #SkyBrarians

From combs to spoons to... who even remembers anymore? THE ARGUERS is a wildly fun fairy tale about a kingdom that just can’t stop bickering—and what happens when the arguing goes too far. @corinnaluyken.bsky.social's THE ARGUERS is a picture book you don't want to miss having in your class/library!

Thank you!! 💚💚

(3/3) @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social @corinnaluyken.bsky.social

I love this. 💛

The Big Book or Mistakes by Corinna Luyken which includes a ragtag group of characters hanging on to a big bunch of yellow balloons and In My Room: a book or creativity and imagination by Jo Witek, illustrated by Christine Roussey which has a cut out house shape with layers of colour within it and a jumping little girl and cat among a bed of yellow flowers

My cousin also bought these two books for the kids - they’re both amazing and I’ve never wanted to write my own picture book more 🥹

@corinnaluyken.bsky.social

Aww, thank you Chris!

It’s beautiful!

Two skeins of over twenty year old purple yarn. One on the right: overly twisted single. The one on the left: the same single, unspun to release twist and then chain plied.

Channeling @corinnaluyken.bsky.social “The Book of Mistakes” into spinning. Quite happy with this “not a mistake” on the left. A lesson on the power of relaxing. 😊 #handspinning

New cards!! These are based on originals that will be in a show at Browser’s Bookshop in May. More details to come. buyolympia.com/Artist/Corin...
