Graphic with brown horse and pink dragon on yellow and purple background with text that says: Wallace and Poppy's La Dee Dah Book Drive. April 10th to May 1st. Speech bubble from the horse says: This is going to be so much fun, Poppy! Speech bubble from the dragon says: But Wallace, I don't know how to drive!

Orders are already coming in for the La-Dee-Dah Book Drive! Help Wallace and Poppy (and me and Charlene) celebrate our first book in the new graphic novel series ONCE UPON A TAIL by purchasing a book (or two) from our Bookshop registry to give kids books and joy! #KidLit

Text on blue background with white safety flag says, “Marked safe from Trader Joe’s parking lot today”

Happy Holidays, y’all. 🙃

Totally. I have friends who do this and keep their tree up until Valentine’s Day, and I love that for them! ☺️

To be honest, it varies year to year, but generally, I tend to put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I give myself permission to do whatever feels right, depending on the year and circumstances. The earliest I’ve started decorating was the week before Thanksgiving.

Absolutely adorable, Steph!! Congrats!!

Totally surreal, Kathleen. I can’t wait for more kiddos to meet Milton and Wanda, laugh while crying, and learn that tears are not only okay but a sign of strength and beauty. 🥹

I’m so grateful our sweet Milton will get to “meet” so many kiddos this way 🥹 Bring on the tears and the library joy!

Beside myself!! 🥹🩵

It’s the news we all needed, and I can’t believe our sweet bull Milton gets to be a part of it 😭

🩵🩵🩵🥹

Little (and Big) Audrey are freaking out!

This is the joy we all need right now!

Absolutely weeping with joy to have mine and Ross’s book MOO HOO as part of the reboot of my favorite childhood show, the one that fosters my love of reading and writing. 😭😭😭 And with @mychal3ts.bsky.social as host?? Pinch me. (But don’t because I don’t wanna wake up.)

Weeping with joy to have mine and Ross’s book included in the reboot of my favorite show as a kid!! 😭💙

THE BFG is the book that made me want to be a writer of #kidlit. Happy first day tomorrow to all of you!

I'm writing my first YA NIV and am kind of obsessed.

Fantastic list, Christiana! Thank you for putting together and sharing it. :)

I actually really like snakes, even used to catch the non-venomous ones with my bare hands when I was a kid. 😅 I'm more ANTI-ANOTHER-PET-I-HAVE-TO-TAKE-CARE-OF

I will NOT be showing this to my daughter who is not far from this level of request
