How cool is this Short Story Dispenser in the Eugene, OR airport?!? You can choose between "Local," "Worldwide," and "For Kids" and with the push of a button, it spits out a mini story on a strip of paper. (Or several, if you're me.)

This one’s a winner, folks—it’s a story I had never heard and will now never forget.
Check out this fascinating and true story by Jonathan Roth.
Did you know that a piece of cloth from the Wright Brothers' Flyer has traveled to the moon, and Mars? With NASA photos and playful illustrations, here is an incredible slice of hidden history and an intro to the science of air and space.

Hooray—CHASING GUANO is out today! 😊 I made "guano"-covered cupcakes to celebrate. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to write about this fascinating expedition. Many thanks to ALL who helped move this ms along over the years!

I have a book coming out next week! CHASING GUANO is the true story of a penguin-counting expedition to Antarctica's Danger Islands, which began with a bird poop stain visible from space. 😜 Ideal for ages 8-12, pub'd by Tilbury House.

Happy Book Birthday to STEAM Team members @kateywrites.bsky.social & @lisavperron.bsky.social and THE REINDEER REMAINDERS and ALL THE ROCKS! Both are such amazing #stemforkids books.

STEAMTeam still mourns the loss of Katey a few weeks ago. She has left a huge hole in the KidLit community.
