In 6️⃣ DAYS! I’m so excited for this #lunchandlearn with NAMI Anchorage!I’ll be talking about D.J. ROSENBLUM BECOMES THE G.O.A.T., mental health in kidlit, and Suicide Awareness Month. Come with questions! Comments! Quandaries! Just RSVP at [email protected]. I can’t wait!!! #booktalk

Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.

My #roadtrip reflection is UP! Take a read to see the lessons I learned on my first #booktour, what I would and wouldn't do again, and some essential pictures of elephants. Link in bio, and in the next tweet. As always, make sure to #share and #subscribe...
