Today is World Environment Day and a special one for me with LIVING BRIDGES just out! With this story, I hope to inspire the younger generation to find wonder in the world and take the initiative to be a global citizen.

The devastation from wildfires can be hard to fathom. These books can help young people process what's happening.

📙They Hold the Line: Wildfires, Wildlands, and the Firefighters Who Brave Them
📗What to Bring
📘I Am the Storm
📕Wildfire!

Thoughts with those on the front lines fighting to save.🙏🏻

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

🤝 DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🤝

EVERYWHERE I CALL HOME by @authorsandhya.bsky.social a picture book about a girl's discovery that home is more than the fog-filled redwoods and snow-filled peaks of her neighborhood in America or the Gulmohar blooms and peacocks' monsoon dance at her family's home in India.
