How incredibly lucky am I?!
I get to chat with the one and only @lydialukidis.bsky.social as my prize for placing in this year’s #50PreciousWords event!
Thank you @viviankirkfield.bsky.social, all the judges, and prize donors!
I’m over the moon!🥳
Back from an amazing trip to Chicago where I met the most incredible #Herpetologist!
Dr. Sara Ruane gave us a tour of the Reptiles Alive exhibit, basement archives, specimen collection, and lab at the beautiful @FieldMuseum.
I learned so much for my #PB Bio WIP! Grateful!🐍
🔥Talk about a dynamic duo! Wow! @lindsayamoretti.bsky.social and Blair Williamson (The Ocean Writer) bringing the wonders of the ocean to everyone!🌊

WHEN RAIN FALLS invites readers to wonder: where do animals go when it rains? 📚👍🏻
#Nonfiction champion, @mstewartscience.bsky.social introduces readers to how creatures respond to rain in both practical + interesting ways. It’s a perfect title to support spring units!

Thank you for that link. Just curious, what publishers you’ve worked with, specifically focused on the current children’s market?
Thanks, but it doesn’t appear you’re a KidLit editor.
Hoping for an editor that can take it to acquisitions with a publisher.🤗
⚾️It’s officially #Baseball season, but do you know all the jargon at the ball park?
You and the kids in your life can learn all the diamond definitions in the best Take Me Out to the Ballgame way—my fun #PictureBook!
I just need an interested #Editor or #Publisher!👀
Who’s ready to learn the good stuff from none other than Lindsay Moretti @lindsayamoretti.bsky.social ? Join us on April 14!
#PictureBooks have a way of guiding children toward understanding minds beyond their own.
These stories are some of my favorites for inviting children to notice, wonder, and empathize without forcing a lesson. 📚👍🏻

Great series starting now with @why-edify.bsky.social!
“The Gap” applies not only to #Teachers but also the #WritingCommunity. Think query rejections, critiques that sting, not so stellar reviews, etc.💡

Hey, @lisariddiough.bsky.social, #EmersynBlake loves your book and thought the Pie Rats should have their own song!🎶

Send help!
Happy #WorldWaterDay!
Sharing a gem of a #nonfiction #pb! Beautifully written and illustrated, this book would be perfect for #stem lessons, nature studies, summer programs, and inquiry-based units. 📚 👍🏻

🐚 Are you a beach-walking shell collector? Do you know kids who collect shells? Make sure you read @lindsayamoretti.bsky.social ‘s recent newsletter featuring a beautiful #PB about a blind biologist written by Suzanne Sherman!

Stories that nurture early communication center imagination and interpretation rather than dialogue-heavy storytelling. Wordless and visually rich books are especially powerful because they invite children to become the storyteller.
What would you add to this list?

Hope you got some wonderful rest on your beach vacation!🏖️
I love the quote @why-edify.bsky.social used in his newsletter about REAL rest. Check out his whole post, especially if you’re an educator! ⛅️🌳

Week made!🤗
The past few years I’ve shared #EmersynBlake & the Spotted Salamander with 2nd grade teachers & kids at Forts Ferry Elementary.
Today’s email:
“Having you as our intro to the unit has become a favorite of the classroom teachers.”
🥰TY @amy_parksSTEM Can’t wait!
One of the highlights of last weekend’s Local Author Festival was that I got to meet a REAL author!😍
And she even signed my book!
(Her first signing ever!)🥰
It’s about a lost squirrel who seeks help from many busy animals—too busy to help her, until a kind deer steps in!🐿️🦌
Chatted with some great kids and their families at today’s Local Author Festival! Even sold a few books!😊
Connected with a homeschool group and our local bookstore (MonkeyKat Books) owner to share #EmersynBlake during upcoming story time events!🎉
😍Woke up to an amazing post by @lindsayamoretti.bsky.social which features my passion for engaging our youngest learners in #STEM exploration through my books!
Make sure you give her wonderful KidLit Grove SubStack a follow!
