It's #SaveTheElephantDay! 🐘 I'm partnering with @KidLitGrove today to celebrate with curriculum tie-ins for Mud to the Rescue! and a giveaway! Check it out and enter to win! open.substack.com/pub/kidlitgr...
Thanks for the update…I was wondering! 🤔
It's time to gear up for #NationalPoetryMonth! My latest newsletter shares how you can join in, plus asks the question, "Are you Human?" 🤖 #kidlit #april #nature #poetry #picturebooks #newsletter 📚✍️

No kiss, must Resist
for frogs become princes and
we’ll have No Kings here

Good idea! To lower the cost, maybe I’ll create a handout with resources like SCBWI, PB writing books (ie Ann Whitford Paul), websites like KidLit411, etc. it would cut down on the time I spend sharing these with the MANY people who insist on picking my brain or telling me their own idea at events!
That feeling when #revising finally finds its groove and I can stop banging my head against the wall!

Pond life, almost spring:
Muscovy duck fights the wind,

Wind, water—weighted,
weaving, winding through red rock—
carve windows through time

Yes…I’m feeling particularly seen right now! 📚😍
Depends on my internal dialogue that day:
You have too many already: 1 📚
I’m an Adult it’s my $ (plus these are all for research anyway): 2-3 📚
At this rate the 🌎 is ending soon,
so might as well: 7-35 📚
Had a fantastic time in Cincinnati at #booksbythebanks Saturday signing Mud to the Rescue! and discussing writing for kids. I also got to share table space with the amazing @kimlongmg.bsky.social and Jessica Fries-Gaither! #kidlit #picturebooks 📚🥳 @weboflifebooks.bsky.social
Yes and we had a blast meeting kids and parents, talking and signing books, and discussing our fab friend Teresa! 🥳📚
Looking forward to Saturday’s #booksbythebanks in Cincinnati! I’ll be signing Mud to the Rescue! and joining other #kidlit authors on a panel about writing for kids. 📚 #books #bookfestival #STEM #weekend
