To support the Twin Cities community after the Annunciation school shooting last week, the incredible Anne Ursu is raising money to donate copies of my book Not Like Every Day: Finding Calm During School Lockdown Drills to local schools. Support, if you can, with donations or shares.

I would recommend listening to this podcast. So much more positive content than doom scrolling the current news cycle. #kidlit
Episodes 4 and 5 are published!
I talk with visual artist Svabhu Kohli and Scholastic's Executive Art Director @brianlarossa.com So much wisdom, knowledge and nitty-gritty stuff. I learned so much, and am in awe of these two creatives!

#kidlit #PB It's a book that kids & adults can use, especially those who struggle to say 'no' and end up depleting themselves in the process. The illustrations by Dan Dougherty do a fantastic job of being minimalistic, pairing well with the words of this book by DJ Corchin. I'd say YES to this book.

#kidlit SIDE WALK CHALK by Jen Fier Jasinski/Lea Marie Ravotti
With minimal words and colorful illustrations, the author & illustrator join forces to help a young, shy girl come out of her shell and join the others, in turn creating a warm welcome for other new arrivals in their neighborhood.

#kidlit #PB This is a well-written and fun book that answers the age-old question of what curry is. Maria's @msmarianayagam.bsky.social lyrical text and Geeta's (Geeta Ladi) beautiful, fun illustrations bring this book to life. I love the recipe at the back and will definitely be trying it.
