My 2nd picture book, GO, BABY, GO! hits shelves today! A great read-aloud for ages 3-7, or new-baby gift for runners.
If you see it out in the wild, I’d love a pic 😊
Biggest thanks to wonderful illustrator @modoodles.bsky.social and lovely publisher Peachtree for bringing this book to life.

Public broadcasting is about more than content. It's about an ethos. That there need to be spaces in society that are not soaked in the logic of consumerism and profit. Where people are treated as citizens, valued for humanity and their ideas rather than disposable income. It's simple, but powerful.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Left copies of two of my books in a cute Little Free Library in Boulder last night. Loved the quote on the box: What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

All, I have a book to finish, so unless something happens (hopefully not) I'm off.
But please consider this a reminder: vet your sources. We're increasingly getting our news from social media; check who's sharing something before you repost it.
This is especially true for platforms like TikTok.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Yesterday I did a story time reading of my picture book, A GOOD DEED CAN GROW, illustrated by Holly Hatam, at the local children’s museum and it was so much fun! The kids were excited to spot some of the many hearts Holly worked into the art, we talked about kindness, and we made turtles. #kidlit

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.
