What are you reading for Jewish Book Month? I'm about to start QUEEN ESTHER by John Irving.

As you can see, I'm on social media even less than Jacqui! Thank you to my awesome agent for getting this book to acquisition. I've been working on it for 15 years!
I'm not on social media much these days but I thought I'd re-emerge from the ether to celebrate @tzippymfa.bsky.social's new deal with @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social for her sophomore MG novel AGAIN to be edited by Emma Sakamoto. Congrats to all! @thetobiasagency.bsky.social

It's not often I can combine my two professions - physician and children's author - in one post, but here you go!

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

I love these WRAD visits! They help remind me why I wrote for kids and keep me going when the writing gets tough!
Our school’s 3rd & 4th graders loved hearing @tzippymfa.bsky.social share ON THE CORNER OF CHOCOLATE AVENUE during #WorldReadAloudDay & learning about the life of Milton Hershey, how she got the idea for the book & how she used different sources to research his life. #kidlit #TLSky #EduSky
