These have an important message for everyone, especially now. We have the power to make a difference! No matter the obstacles, there is always a reason and a way to stand up for what is just. #library #librarybooks #bookhaul #reading #kidlit @tylergordon.bsky.social @andreabeatyauthor.bsky.social
I’m writing back matter for a narrative fiction picture book and realizing I have enough content for an entire nonfiction picture book…and there are currently no nonfiction picture books about the topic. #writing #kidlit #picturebooks

Woke up to the best email ever, some blueberry pancakes, and a garden full of ripe veggies. Not the most productive day, but I’m celebrating and feeling great! I won’t let today slip away. #writing #kidlit #progress

Getting ready for the Southampton Children’s Lit Conference by baking cookies to bring. I’m sure this how they wanted me to prepare, right? #southamptonchildrenslitconference #stonybrooksouthampton #kidslit #picturebooks #writing

I love watching my seedlings grow. Some sprout in a day and others take weeks of careful watering, specific temperatures, and lighting schedules. When I can’t see it, I have to have faith that they are growing. All will have an important role in my garden. All are worth the wait. #growing #spring

Planting hundreds of seeds today. I’m a little late on my seed starting schedule, but no better day to do it than Earth Day. #earthday

I was supposed to do some gardening today, but then it snowed…so clearly no gardening happened. Spring can be so cruel. However, I did get to finish reading through my weekly library stack and that was just as fulfilling. #kidlit #spring #picturebooks #librarylove

Happy Birthday to me! I'll be treating myself to a trip to my local book store. I'll keep my eyes peeled for newly released picture books. I wonder what I'll find. #kidlit #picturebooks

Thank you @viviankirkfield.bsky.social for donating prizes to the Spring Fling Writing Contest. I asked my local library to purchase your new book, ONE GIRL’S VOICE. I can’t wait to learn more about Lucy Stone.

Rain-battered blossoms

cruel blows, resistant.

Massachusetts @authorsabb.bsky.social contingent at the Boston #HandsOff rally/march. Quite a few librarians came so speak to us. One even asked to take a photo with us.

Remy’s fifth birthday is this week. Last year he chose rainbow LEGO dinosaur as his theme(s). I think this year’s cake will somehow be even more repulsive than the rainbow food dye. Can you spot the “monster poop?”

Cuddling up with some picture books on this dreary gray Sunday. #librarylove #bookhaul #kidlit #bookstack

I’m in love with Megan Pomper’s and Maia Hoekstra’s WHAT MAKES A BIRD. It’s all of the questions your kid will ask and all of the questions that flit and fly through your mind about what makes a bird a bird…or anything, anything. The metaphor is everything. @mpomper.bsky.social

Finishing up a first draft I started this week. It wasn’t part of my scheduled writing tasks for the week, but it’s something I felt compelled to write. ✍️ #writing #kidlit

Massachusetts friends, please join me at Maxima Book Center in Lexington on 3/22 at 11am. I'll be reading my new picture book Pigs Dig a Road & will have some fun takeaways. If your kiddo loves trucks, construction sites and/or pigs, this is the event for you! www.maximacenter.com/events/autho...
