"There’s a piece of child-me in each of these kids. I was the kid who stood in the hallway more than the classroom. And the trouble didn’t stop at just school. I was hurting and, sometimes, people convey pain through unlikeable behavior." @lyndamh.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2026/06/how-...

Thanks SO much, @mrschureads.bsky.social for hosting my cover reveal for HOW TO BUILD A MIRACLE. @penguinschoollib.bsky.social @nancyrosep.bsky.social

This is fantastic <3

I had the honor and reading THUNDER AND MERCY early. This is a phenomenal middle grade novel with incredible characters and an engaging plot. Still thinking about it many months later. HIGH recommended. Brava @jrbarr.bsky.social

DONE. ✅ And, as of this morning, she is off to copyediting! So very excited about this one. And eternally grateful to my phenomenal editor, Nancy Paulsen. I guess the only pang I have re: letting it go is that I have become so attached to the characters. I really will miss them.  Releases 2/16.

Celebrating teachers and school librarians! Thank you @lyndamh.bsky.social!

Happy book birthday to @lyndamh.bsky.social and @nancycarpenterart.bsky.social's Wish in a Tree! mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/11/wish...

WISH IN A TREE is finally HERE! I wrote a blog about the reasons why I wrote the book and the effects of shame on children.

Thank you so very much! The webinar was so much fun, but it was strange to speak with no interaction. I am grateful for your message! I’m so happy that you and your kids enjoyed it. 🥰🥰

Thanks so much, John! I always love to visit your blog. Much appreciated. 🥰

Celebrate out-of-the-box thinking, the power of creativity, and the importance of being proud of the things that set us apart. Happy #BookBirthday to WISH IN A TREE - an uplifting picture book starring characters from @lyndamh.bsky.social New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree.
