winter read about a summer climb lifts me up Climbing the Volcano: A Journey in Haiku by Curtis Manley and @jenniferkmann.bsky.social #poetry #PoetryforKids 💙💡📚👍

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

An outstanding book, by two very talented people! Off to have a celebratory taco with the author!

Poop happens—it’s good to know how to use a pitchfork! Coming to bookstores in June—The Riding Lesson, by me, and @candlewickpress.bsky.social

Experienced this very thing today!
