Educators: You can help show next generation the value of HUMAN creativity. When talking about illustrated books, pls mention illustrators by name? Display student artwork on your walls w/credit. Discuss illustrators w/your class. Invite illustrators to visit your school! #PicturesMeanBusiness

I’ve been quite teary lately. Triggered by various small sadnesses, joy, even a beautiful description of a Feast of the Seven Fishes in a memoir I’m reading (The Light of the World by Elizabeth Alexander. Poetic & beautiful). I’m not sure why…but I guess it doesn’t really matter. It’s good to feel.

Sometimes creativity means cutting inspiration out of magazines. #kidlit #creativity #writinglife #amwriting#kidlitmegafeed

New on my Publishing Peptalk substack. 'When you think of your writing life at its best, what do you want it to bring you - practically, emotionally, creatively?' I asked 50 author/illustrators, and this is what they said. open.substack.com/pub/abielong...

I’m accompanying my hubby on a work trip to a nice place by the ocean, & I’m going to make a writing retreat out of it. (Yay, lucky me!) I’ve just had a vision of ordering a pot of tea and a scone from room service. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna do it! That’s VERY writing retreat-y, right? 😁

Happy World's Kindness Day! Two great pictures books to read today - Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller and Kindness is a Kite String by Michelle Schaub. Coming soon is my next #PB, Mr. Crumpet's Kindness Day Surprise. Spread some kindness today!

My sun-warmed eyelids, my tear-wet cheeks. Breathe in light, breathe out trust and love. #haiku #HaikuSaturday

Putting this one on my tbr list!

From the Small Delights file: nothing says summer like a sweet, juicy peach. My mouth is watering just typing those words. We have been eating at least a peach a day. We can't get enough of them! Bite into soft skin Warm, sweet summer bursts open Season's first peaches #haiku #delights #peaches

Words of wisdom from Maggie Smith: “Nothing that any of us makes or achieves happens without community. Period. We need each other.” #kidlit #writingcommunity #poetry #creativity #readingcommunity

We walk around our local state university campus often, but our route had never taken me past this circle of costal redwoods until today. Magical. There’s a story in there… #kidlit #nature

Nighttime…Daytime. Good afternoon, sunshines! #Delightful! #kidlit #joyspotting #nature

Me too, Giraffe. Me too. I love this book!

I'm so proud of you, Tracie, and not surprised at all. You are a remarkable writer, librarian, and human being.

Swirling, anxious thoughts, be gone! “Set wide the window. Let me drink in the day.” Quote and graphic by inspiration.com. A good mantra for me today. 😊
