I had a great time today talking about My Backyard Used to Be with a local media outlet. #kidlit

Great idea!

An important read.

So thrilled that @slj.com called my and Megan Elizabeth Baratta's picture book, My Backyard Used to Be, "a meaningful addition to school and public libraries, as well as a lovely choice for readers to take home." #kidlit

I'm happy to be featured on @dbeckjacobson.bsky.social's blog today talking about my new PB, My Backyard Used to Be! darlenebeckjacobson.wordpress.com/2025/10/06/a...

“Every NO is a breadcrumb leading you to a YES.” @ecfeinberg.bsky.social at @SCBWIOhioNorth #kidlit

Congratulations to @librarygrl2.bsky.social! Thanks to all who entered and promoted by giveaway! #kidlit

Teachers and librarians: today is the last day to enter to win a copy of my book! #kidlit #Edusky,#SchoolLibrarian

This looks adorable! #kidlit viviankirkfield.com/2025/09/30/h...

I love this analogy. #kidlit

Enter by WED!

What a fabulous book launch event at Schuler Books! My ❤️ is full! #kidlit

Teachers & Librarians! I am giving away one copy of my just-released PB, My Backyard Used to Be, to one U.S.-based teacher or librarian who likes & reposts this by October 1. #kidlit #Edusky #SchoolLibrarian. Themes: history, stewardship, outdoor play.

It's fun to see my book birthday recognized by @12x12challenge.bsky.social , which has been such a big part of my writing journey!

Do most #kidlit writers have their Instagram accounts public or private? Instagram is a bit of a mystery to me. In promoting my launch event, several local businesses suggested I make my story public so I can tag them and everyone can see it, but I'm not sure that I want all my info public. Thanks.

I'm thrilled to be featured on the @scbwi-mi.bsky.social blog today!! scbwimithemitten.blogspot.com/2025/09/book...

viviankirkfield.com/2025/09/23/b... I’m thrilled to celebrate my book birthday today on @viviankirkfield.bsky.social ‘s wonderful blog! Enter to win a copy of my book! #kidlit

Important information.

I love that my 15-year-old still digs holes at the beach😀

There's a lot of great #kidlit coming out from #scbwi-mi creators this fall, including my debut PB!

Looking forward to reading this one! Congrats, @lindsayleslie.bsky.social! #kidlit viviankirkfield.com/2025/06/28/w...

I just returned from Korea, where I was fascinated by the “Seoul outdoor library.” #kidlit

Wow! I just watched the @12x12challenge.bsky.social webinar on AI for #kidlit with @chiaracolombi.com! I have to admit that I've been very reticent about AI, but this webinar did such a great job of explaining it and positioning it as a tool. Thank you!

This is worth checking out if you write YA or for adults.

Great opportunity if you qualify. #kidlit

Thanks to @SCBWI-MI and all the presenters for a great day #makingbooksbloom yesterday! #kidlit
