At bus arrival yesterday morning I heard a group of 5th grade girls have a serious gossip session… about the books they were all reading!! Made my #booknerd heart happy 😊 #TheKidsAreAlright #kidlit #MG #middlegrade #teacherlife

I love stories where genuine word of mouth does wonders for #authors / #illustrators . I showed this GORGEOUS #book to the lovely #ESL supervisor in my district, and today at our dept meeting, she surprised us with copies for every teacher in the department!!

Yesterday? 80 degrees and sunny. Shorts. T shirts. Today? 38 and snowing. Winter jacket. Boots. Welcome to #NJ 🤷‍♀️

Friends! There is a Lunar Eclipse this week! So cool, right? If you are looking for a great picture book to read with the kids about lunar eclipses, I highly recommend O'win and the Moon. #STEM

Son: Mom! Don’t recycle my math workbook! Me: Aren’t you done with this unit? Son: Yeah, but I’ve drawn so many comics in there! It’s like pretty much one of my sketchbooks! #SorryTeacher 😬 #FutureComicArtist #kidlit #comics

I try to avoid taking medicine unless truly necessary. Instead, when I’m sick, I opt for more natural remedies, like Girl Scout cookies and Frosted Mini Wheats. #HomeSick #TeacherFlu #FollowMeForMoreLifeHacks

Just read a blog where the author said her go-to person for physical fitness is Dan Go. And I was like… She can’t mean Danny Go… CAN SHE??! Maybe she’s on to something?! (Then I googled, and no, she did not mean Danny Go, sadly) The #elementary #teachers will hear me 😂 #edusky #teacherlife

Happy New Year to you! 🎉 I’m starting a #NewYearsEve #Art challenge for myself - each year I’ll use the paint scraps (no new paint!) from the past year to collage a #NYE ball 🪩 - here’s my first try! #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

I used to be a median American reader … Happy to say I’ve read about 20 #novels this year, and over 100 #picturebooks, and even started writing my own books (my #debut #PB comes out in 2026!). I’m grateful that over the past 10 years or so, I’ve rekindled the love for #books that I had as a kid 🌟📚🌟
