It’s been an extra good mail day! 😍

If you're an author, you're probably fretting over your next bookstore event. Will anyone show up? Will anyone buy the book? Will the floor helpfully open up and swallow you whole so you don't have to face a sea of empty chairs? But even if no one shows up to your event, it will be OK because 🧵

My first author visit of the year was with my pal Candi Fritz at Houchin Elementary. This was our three-peat! Candi knows me so well that she created a Tammi Sauer Minifig. I’m holding lipstick and a cookie. It’s like I’m looking in a mirror. 🙂

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I have two new books coming out in March and four more that will be announced soon. This means it’s time for a new author photo. Stay tuned….. 👀 #kylebeckett @randomhousekids.bsky.social #paulinegregory #disneyhyperion

Had such a great day with 3rd/4th/5th graders and THESE PEOPLE at the Franklin County Children’s Literature Festival! 😊

You’re looking at my last day of school! 😊 Happy to be spending it with hundreds of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at the Franklin County Children’s Literature Festival in Ottawa, Kansas!

Hey! Look who’s coming to the #FranklinCountyLiteratureFestival next week! My buddies @tammisauer.bsky.social @danielmiyares.bsky.social! Will we see YOU there?

Clearly, I’m going to have to steal this sign and take it with me EVERYWHERE. 😎

I spent my day with TWO amazing librarians. Jenni Hatfield at Perrin Elementary and Jessica Alvis at Daniel Elementary made today such a good one! 😊 (And, no, we’re not posing in a police lineup.)

Had such a great day at Lizzie Curtis Elementary. Favorite comnent from one of the kids I chatted with after a presentation: “Can I tell you something? I’m an author, too.” 😍😭😍😭 #authorvisits

I was interviewed by Tulsa’s Dave Davis at News On 6. The interview focused on MARY HAD A LITTLE JAM, and, well, my love for Vanessa. 😍 www.newson6.com/story/68138f...

I ran into lots of old friends at Carey Ridge Elementary! ❤️ Special thanks to the kids, the teachers, and Jody Overdorf and her assistant Amber for making the day such a good one!

There were no bunnies here at Oak Trace Elementary, but I spotted lots of amazing kids, wonderful teachers, and, Tammy Walker, a superstar librarian. 😊 @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social
