I cat think of a more perfect #picturebook for my mood! @debbieohi.com is the best! I ♥️ her newest book!! #kidlit

This arrived in the mail!

Fun fact: when I have a book birthday, I get my nails done to match the cover. It happened a couple times by accident. Now I bring the book in to the nail salon. Today's nails are midnight blue with sparkles like a snowstorm at night. @charlesbridge.bsky.social

Michael is a soccer star. Jet is a bird nerd. When an owl needs their help, the avian adventure begins! SNOWY OWL RESCUE publishes today! @charlesbridge.bsky.social Middle Grade novel with cover and spot illustrated by Natasha Donovan

I took a short break from my outrage to celebrate this unexpectedly wonderful news.

Love being on the same stage as my friends, @heidieys.bsky.social @barbrosenstock.bsky.social @joycewanbooks.bsky.social @bandersonwriter.bsky.social and @lisaljrogers.bsky.social 🤩 Thank you, Astra Kids Books and @ala-booklist.bsky.social! You can enjoy the sounds of melting snow in the video 😆

What Kate said... And I'll emphasize that novels in verse can be a gentle way in to tough topics—like a few I've read recently, by @susanhood.bsky.social, @mrschureads.bsky.social, @heidieys.bsky.social—

Preorders of my new book from my local indies will get this amazing sticker! High Five Books, Odyssey Books, the Carle Museum Gift Shop and the Silver Unicorn #kidlit #swag
