Look what I woke up to! Our first snow in Switzerland! ❄️💙 #winterwonderland #snow #switzerland #firstsnow #authorlife #kidlit #iamwriting

“The lesson that we learn from Seven, that sometimes being different has huge rewards, can make those who don’t fit in feel special.” I really hope those who feel different do indeed feel special—because they are! Thank you so much, Pamela Kramer! pamelakramer.com/2025/10/19/a... #pigeons #books
