My cover reveal for my DEBUT #picturebook REWRITING THE RULES is up! #STEM, #neuroscience, #disability and #disabilityadvocacy My former mentor who has #cerebralpalsy, Dr. Kathleen Friel, combatted ableism and society and today runs her lab developing therapies for kids w/CP 😍 www.dannazeiger.com

Relics of my past (literally) holding up my (hopeful) future! (My good friend got me this beautiful mug and I enjoy my coffee in it every day, manifesting through hard work!)

Excited to share my #stem #50preciouswords entry for the fabulous @viviankirkfield.bsky.social contest she runs!!!!!!! Thank you for all of your hard work making this incredible #kidlit magic happen every year. It is SO MUCH fun!!!! Thanks to my CPs, as well <3

TY @terrilibenson.bsky.social, my new mentor - SO generous: autographed bookplates, awesome bookmarks, & adorable "book besties" bracelets! We love these books! My mom-cred skyrocketed! & thank you to @pjlibrary.org for this incredible experience through the Sephardic Stories Writing Fellowship!!

Today in #homeschooling, we learned about Paul Klee, who created over 10,000(!) works of art. We read how, at best, only 10%--for a professional artist--will become masterpieces. A reminder that in #writing #kidlit too, most of my (not-to-be-published) work will still shape my future best pieces.

Had the most amazing microscope day in this household! The house is a happy mess and the table is full of concoctions and the most bizarre slides ever, and our souls and minds are full! For more details head to IG @DrZatHome or www.dannazeiger.com <3 #STEM #parents #steminist #microscopes

On reframing #publication #writing rejections/passes: Sometimes, of course I feel sad. But, what perks me up is when I think this way: WOW! The amazing editor of ________ book(s) that I love actually read *my* manuscript. My baby, my manuscript, got the eyes of this incredible editor. What luck 😍

Thrilled and honored to be selected as a 2025 feature interview for @chelseadicicco.bsky.social Chelsea's World of Books!! <3 What an incredible group of authors here!

Thrilled and honored to be chosen as a @pjlibrary.org Sephardic Stories Initiative Fellow! Thank you for this opportunity, and thank you for your continued essential work in bringing Jewish stories to light! <3 pjlibrary.org/beyond-books...

Yes, my 8yo knows the Pythagorean Theorem. Amazing example of how books teach kids through story. Not only will they understand it better, they'll remember it better. This is one kind of book I aspire to write and bring to the world, too. #kidlit #MakingSTEMAccessible #Steminist pic.x.com/wKDd6eK9to

This upcoming book looks great! www.amazon.com/Kid-ventors-...

There’s always a great discussion hiding in every #picturebook . Whole discussion about what sensitive means, how to judge what is “normal” & what is more than? Then he pulled out a dictionary, of his own accord, because he was curious. #Picturebook for the win!(2/2) @saraclevinebooks.bsky.social

I love all of @saraclevinebooks.bsky.social 's books.#picturebook s are for everyone-don’t let the recc'd ages fool you. My oldest comes sliding closer every time I’m reading to my youngests...listening, asking Qs, and even (gasp) learning. Even. At 12. Picture books forever! (1/2)

A story in 14 words: Leaving home; suitcase packed of books is larger than the one for my clothes. I think this says it all! 🤣#picturebooks and Books for life! #WritingCommmunity #WritingCommmunity #kidlit

So many writing contests--some I've done well, some not. But the memories of my precious CPs rallying behind me, family cheering me on, picking up the house slack--that's always left the best taste in my mouth and the sweetest nostalgia, even when I don't win. #WritingCommunity

Are the best books (well, my best work) born of tears while writing? I just can't stop. #amwriting #kidlit #ownvoice #WritingCommunity

Happy book birthday to these three awesome science books for kids!! Congratulations to authors Buffy Silverman, Sandra Markle, and @jessicafgwrites.bsky.social!

I'm a visual person, LOL! The road to #publication is paved with #rejections! #WritingCommunity gets it! #amwriting #kidlit (Randomly felt like making a meme!)

I wrote about my magical experience at @HighlightsFound with immense gratitude to @PJLibrary for many transformative opportunities. (This was post was not sponsored.) I hope you consider experiencing this magic yourself :-) #kidlit #writingcommunity writersrumpus.com/2023/09/19/t...

#RoshHashana time means time to pull out our color-coded generous, beautiful #kidlit @PJLibrary books! This is for Day 1. I'm so grateful to have a ginormous collection, with more books ready for Day 2! :-) Shanah tovah to all who celebrate!

Signs of a #homeschool #mama... perpetually food-dyed hands LOL! Always doing #STEMeducation and #STEM activities... perfect muse for my #kidlit #writing!

I've thankfully never maxed out my credit card... but I am *constantly* maxing out my #library card. Life of a #homeschooling Mama and #kidlit #writer #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

My consistently unattainably long list of books I'm dying to read brings me child-level excitement and joy #writerslife #WritingCommunity #amwriting #kidlit

"I understand you better through your #writing," said my hubby of 16 years and best friend of 20. Isn't that the truth 😍❤️🥰Also, one of the nicest things to say to me. I understand myself better, too. #WritingCommunity #kidlit #amwriting
