Still searching for a willing dragon partner. Apparently they’re all booked for star dancing and moon skimming this season. If you spot one accepting riders, send them my way. #fantasy #dragon #kidlit

Ping’s got glitter in her hair & hearts on her wings because crafting the perfect Valentine’s Day is serious faery business. This tiny magical whirlwind wants to make sure everyone feels the love…even if she has to cut 1000 hearts to do it.

I'm not much of a fashion icon myself, so I don't talk about fashion much. However, I find these goblin trends quite enticing. Maybe there's a book in this? The Goblins Wear Prada?

My audience? Kids who love puzzles, fantasy companions, & high-agency heroines will latch onto Frigg’s courage & Ping/Tip/Cricall’s team dynamic. The blend of humor, peril-without-gore, & a victorious community uprising is a bullseye for upper-elementary kids. #mglit #mgbooks #kidsfantasy #kidlit

Fantasy has always been more than escapism. Stories filled with magic, quests, and mythical worlds often illuminate the hopes, fears, and longings we carry within us. It reflects who we are while inviting us to imagine who we could become. #fantasy #fantasybooks #kidlit #booksky

On a cold winter day, Ping, a spirited pixie faery, loves drinking cocoa from her tiny faery mug while munching on chocolate shortbread cookies. Nothing better than cocoa, cookies, and a good book! #mglit #middlegradeliterature #kidlit
