Got THE BEST compliment from a bookseller yesterday while talking about M IS FOR MASON JAR:
"Were you once a teacher?" 😆
No, but I always dreamed about being one. Now I write educational books for kids! 🥰

A Brand New Moon!
The JWST has just imaged a new moon in orbit around Uranus. The tiny moon, currently called S/2025 U1, is only about 6 miles (10 km) across, and brings the count of Uranus’ moons up to 29. Which Shakespearean character would you name this moon after? 🧪🔭
