Nothing more humbling than to learn to use fewer words from Kidlit greats @underwoodwriter.bsky.social and @kenardpak.bsky.social and Cindy Derby. Great panel at the Oktoberfest @scbwisfneb.bsky.social #kidlit #scbwi

I’ll be in San Ramon this Saturday with @kenardpak and Cindy Derby and @underwoodwriter for the @scbwisfneb.bsky.social conference. Who else will be there? #kidlit #fibonacci #scbwioktfest2025

Leo. Counting. Two trees. Three noisy squirrels. Five big steps into school. Yes, I wrote a children’s picture book in #fibonacci sequence. Know any #teachers looking for a good book for Fibonacci Day? #kidlit #neurospicy #math #picturebooks. shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecomm...
