A toe-bean-super-sploot for this #caturday.

Hi! I’d love to be added if there’s still room. Thanks!

I’m in a hell of my own germaphobic making.

Welp, I just chugged my kid’s dirty toothpaste water thinking it was my own with electrolytes in it. How’s your night going? 🤮

I also second the Phoebe and her Unicorn series! Katie the Catsitter is also stellar.

Story Spinners: A Sisterly Tale of Danger, a Princess, and Her Crew of Lady Pirates Amazon.com: Story Spinners: A Sisterly Tale of Danger, a Princess, and Her Crew of Lady Pirates: 9781665918244: Federman, Cassandra, Federman, Cassandra: Books

Can I recommend my own? It's called STORY SPINNERS and it is an Amazon best book of the year and an Editors pick. And it is unhinged--for example, it has Wicked Water spiders with Boston accents.

So excited for my amazing agent @marchsoloway.bsky.social and her co-founders @jemiscoe.bsky.social and @pterlip.bsky.social! What an amazing new chapter for you all! I can’t wait to watch you soar! (And also to be carried along with all the soaring. Yay!)😍

I can’t ask for a better (or cuter) kid review of GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT than this!

I’ve also been informed I’ll get to meet this kiddo when I’m signing at @anunlikelystory bookstore next month! I cannot wait!

No idea why THIS IS A SEAHORSE has a prominent place at B&N 5 years after its release, but I am into it!
It was a pandemic release so it didn’t get many sales, but it was my first book to get multiple ⭐️ reviews and it won an award! (ILA Children’s and Young Adult Book Award.)

📦Unboxing my newest picture book GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT with my kiddo! There were some bumps along the way, like the cat food dispenser sounding off, but we pressed on and now I’m inclined to make this a tradition. What do you think—should we keep unboxing together?

#kidlit #edusky

Haha thank you! I will pass your compliments on to him 😉

Thank you for the repost! 🥰
