Mamma moose and calf near a stream in the park.
In a world gone mad try and remember
Its also a world worth fighting for
This fall
Vote like all our lives depend on it
Because they do
A pod of at least a dozen dolphins swims closely together in the green-ish water of the Gulf of Mexico.
On March 31st, Trump's Extinction Committee will meet for the first time—and sacrifice marine wildlife in the #GulfOfMexico for corporate profits.
We are mobilizing to fight this tooth and nail, and we need you with us.
Please make an urgent gift today to the Freedom Defense Fund ➡️ bit.ly/4s43IZH
This meeting violates the #EndangeredSpeciesAct and, by limiting public participation, is an assault on our legal rights to speak up for species and the wild.

🤣🤣🤣 I'll admit that having my Hudson River recovery stories recognized & knowing the books might inspire readers makes me happy. These days, we all need a little hope & joy. My recognition is shared w/ everyone who picks up trash on the shoreline & raises their voices to protect our waterways. 🐳🌎
In a week of horrible kidlit news, this is a bright spot that needs to be shared. Congratulations, John! I'm excited for all that is to come!🎉🎉🎉🎉 @scbwi.bsky.social
I am so sorry, Kyle. This is terrible news for our kidlit community and for readers everywhere.
Fantastic news for the #kidlit community!!

Thanks, Mary!
These look amazing! Adding to my list of books for ocean-obsessed kids. More whale and ocean critter picture books in general please!
Aren’t old friends the best? Kudos for the win today! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well done. Well done.
Take note! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
That Chanel Miller’s writing is some of the strongest literary fiction coming out today is without question. But shhhh! Keep it to yourself, children. That’s just between you and this book. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2026/03/14/r...

I'm doing an Ask the Agent (Live!) event on 3/25/26. It's a Q&A format, aka, "Everything you've always wanted to know about publishing but were afraid to ask." It does cost $20, but all proceeds are going toward a residency scholarship.
Join us! @joknowles.bsky.social
