SO excited about the upcoming release of "Consider the Birds," book one of The Consider Series.

Rich time at the ACLU/IL lunch yesterday with my pal @carynrivadeneira.bsky.social. Reminded that "Courage is contagious" (Colleen Connell) and filled with ideas and perspective by Sherrilyn Ifill. (Paraphrase: We are a thorn in the side of authoritarians. We do not cut deals.) Thank you @aclu.org!

Working on edits of the third book in "The Consider Series." The first, "Consider the Birds," will be published this fall. I love the beautiful illustrations juliannaswaney.com has created for the books. More at www.eerdmans.com/978080285562.... #writingcommunity #kidlit #spirituality #illustration

Yes I am an adult bookstagrammer who mainly focuses on adult lit, but sometimes my children’s librarian side comes out and I need to collect picture books. Here is one of my all time favorites that I use for story times. #kidlit

What if we all saw world as our neighborhood, its inhabitants as cherished neighbors? In my picture book, "Maybe I Can Love My Neighbor Too," a child realizes that kindness knows no borders. www.amazon.com/Maybe-Can-Lo... @beamingbooksmn #LoveYourNeighbor #KindnessMatters #GlobalKindness
