Kittens were treated to a storytime session with my kindergartener at the animal shelter 😁!

I love the #50preciouswords contest for training me to distill a story to its essence. It's the only contest I consistently enter since switching to kidlit 4 years ago. 3 Honorable Mentions later, I'm thrilled to join the winner's circle this year! Thank you, @viviankirkfield.bsky.social & judges!

Congratulations to my fellow @12x12challenge.bsky.social diversity scholarship winner on her debut!

This baby hummingbird flew out and couldn't get off the ground back to her nest! With roaming cats around, we were able to return her to her nest with her sibling! See two little heads?

I write in different libraries throughout the week and it's always a delight to spot familiar names. I might have pulled out @teresarobeson.bsky.social's book just a tad 😁.

I needed a writing break and went to check on hummingbird mama who laid 2 eggs about a month ago and look what I found!!

I took my kindergartener to the Lunar New Year celebration at one of our libraries! It was so festive and fun! Happy New Year of the Snake!

I'm happy to see that my #debut #PB is on the #HistoricalNovelSociety list of forthcoming #childrensbooks for 2025. #FreedomAtDawn releases April 10 from #albertwhitman. #kidlit #schoollibrarians #teachers #historicalfiction #PictureBookCreativeCrew historicalnovelsociety.org/forthcoming-...

@kristimahoney.bsky.social Look what I spotted at one of my local libraries!

Scenes from the jelly bean candy factory! It smelled like melting sugar! Free samples were abundant and so were ideas 🙃.

I took my kids to a kids tech innovation fair organized by a nearby library. An electric driverless bus and robot from a robotics team. Raspberry Pi kits can be borrowed like a book for kids to build a computer, a robot or a game!

I took my girls to an animal show at the library where we met a capybara (he is only a year old)!

Monarch butterflies are overwintering in nearby farm's eucalyptus grove! Simply stunning!
