First day back for preplanning, getting ready for my 23rd class! A little sleepy and a little sweaty, but I'm excited and looking forward to another great year with my awesome team. And I am LOVING the superhero theme-makes my nerdy little heart so happy! 🦸♀️ #edusky #thirdgrade

You will love this beautiful book and will cheer for Maybelline as she faces her challenges and finds her voice!
I wrote the 1st draft of Loophole in 2022, when I was pregnant with my daughter. A lot has changed since then, but my mission with this novel remains the same: to provide positive coping skills for children dealing with anxiety! 🥰
