Conversation from a recent storytime:

Child: Here you go, Ms. Sheri. I want you to have this very special star.
Me: Oh, thank you! Are you sure you want to part with it?
Child: It's okay! I just found it stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

Had a wonderful time at the @scbwi-sobreeze.bsky.social conference this weekend! From the book signings and faculty sessions to seeing friends, old and new-- #Kidlit creators are the BEST! @patzmiller.bsky.social @rajanilarocca.bsky.social

Thank you for sharing this! Such a hopeful post. I love the sense of community I feel when I walk into one of my local bookstores. Indie bookstores are the BEST! 💕📚💕

Aren’t they so sweet?? Charlie is so talented! 🤩

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited to share the cover of my next book! 🥳💕📚 Meet Tic, Tac, and Toe! Coming soon (Nov 4th) to a bookstore near you! ❌⭕️❌⭕️❌⭕️ (Art by @chuckie346.bsky.social LOVE it! 🤩) #ReycraftBooks #PictureBook #kidlit #kittens

You're welcome! Thank YOU both for creating it! 💕📚

It's a great book for storytimes! My favorite moment is when the girl puts her bike outside with a sign that says, "FREE." I say, "Oh! So that means that anyone walking by who happens to want a bike..." [page turn] the kids are all looking at that next illustration with big smiles on their faces! 🥰

Storytime News: I read BIG BIKE, LITTLE BIKE by @kdubaygillis.bsky.social & @jacobsouva.bsky.social at my preschool storytimes last week. Favorite comment: “Uh oh! The bike crashed into the edge of the book!” 😊 Now it's in a cozy spot where there's already evidence that kids are "re-reading" it! 🥰

Success! 🎉 The kids (and parents) loved your book! And I had a couple storytime songs about opposites that we sang, too. 💕🎶📚 I bought a copy for my preschool, so I’ll be reading it all week! I’ll check in and let you know how it goes. Congratulations on your beautiful book, Kellie and Jacob!

Kellie!! I’m at my weekly storytime at Virginia Highland Books, and look what I found, front and center! 🥰💕📚 I’ll be reading it this morning! 🎉

Yay! Thanks so much, Jessica! (After reading, tell your class that there’s another character hiding on many of the pages who is harder to find...) 😊
