These birds are a small glimpse into the world of Sun, Moon, and Star, my upcoming picture book with Holiday House 📚, being published on Feb. 24, 2026.

I’ve poured so much heart into this story, and I can’t wait to share the cover with you soon. 💛

Yay! Thanks!!

Congratulations 🎊

I guess you’re never too old to try something new. I survived my first quest today!

So much fun at SCBWI New England!

Thanks! I can’t wait to see you this weekend!

Thank you all! I’m honored to be a runner-up again.

Congrats Borko! Welcome. ❤️

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll put a hold on it.

Congratulations 🎉

Amazing!!

We all need some good news! Can’t wait!

Congratulations!

Great analogy.

Loved her keynote!

I love seeing magic happen at our conferences!

Thanks to editor Frances Gilbert for sharing her story of acquiring a picture book from one of our members at last year's conference. Join us in March to shoot your shot. Sometimes, magic happens when you do. #amwriting #kidlit #amillustrating #scbwi

Conferences build connections. Not every conference has a success story, but our last regional conference had three! Read about one here, and don't miss the chance to connect with agent Rebecca Rodd & editors Eileen Robinson & Zoie Konneker. scbwi.org/events/full-...

Thanks!

Thanks to all of the judges and prize donors! If you’d like to read my entry, I’m sharing it here. 😃 www.melissajohnstonmiles.com/holiday-cont...

Oh my!! 😬

I’m thinking a nice machete…

#NCTE24 It’s my first time here and I’m looking forward to a day full of making connections, learning, and seeing old friends.

Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations 🎉

I would have! I devoured her books and got tears in my eyes when she gave a speech at an SCBWI virtual conference a few years back.
