How cool is this Short Story Dispenser in the Eugene, OR airport?!? You can choose between "Local," "Worldwide," and "For Kids" and with the push of a button, it spits out a mini story on a strip of paper. (Or several, if you're me.)

Who else is heading to Boston for #NCTE24 this week? Here's where I'll be on Saturday, signing books and talking about "STEAM power"Looking forward to meeting lots of teachers and fellow kidlit folks! And having a lobster roll, of course. 🐧📘👨‍🚀📙❣️

Hooray—CHASING GUANO is out today! 😊 I made "guano"-covered cupcakes to celebrate. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to write about this fascinating expedition. Many thanks to ALL who helped move this ms along over the years! #kidlit #kidslovenonfiction #stembooksforkids #steamteambooks

I have a book coming out next week! CHASING GUANO is the true story of a penguin-counting expedition to Antarctica's Danger Islands, which began with a bird poop stain visible from space. 😜 Ideal for ages 8-12, pub'd by Tilbury House. Preorder links in bio #STEM #KidsLoveNonfiction #SteamTeamBooks

Happy Book Birthday to STEAM Team members @kateywrites.bsky.social & @lisavperron.bsky.social and THE REINDEER REMAINDERS and ALL THE ROCKS! Both are such amazing #stemforkids books. STEAMTeam still mourns the loss of Katey a few weeks ago. She has left a huge hole in the KidLit community.

Congratulations to all the STEAM Team group members with book releases in July! @katiefurze.bsky.social Helen Taylor @lisavperron.bsky.social Taylor Perron and the late @kateywrites.bsky.social Learn more at our web site!
