Such a fun day at the 10th annual Chesapeake Bay book festival! Signed books and chatted with some great authors and readers! Favorite part was the notes that kids left on my kindness wall (tablecloth)!

THE MITZVAH FAIRY by author @daniellejoseph.bsky.social & illustrated by Christine Battuz is the perfect story to read during #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth. THE MITZVAH FAIRY shares the importance of doing good deeds (mitzvot) & taking care of the Earth (tikkun olam). 🩵🌍📚

Just back from a school in Capitol Hill where we talked about I WANT TO RIDE THE TAP TAP. Perfect for May, Haitian Heritage Month! The kids made the cutest tap taps with their art teacher! 🇭🇹🌴🚌🚎

One of my favorite questions: How many palm trees are there in Haiti? 🌴

I can't believe the school year is coming to a close soon. It's time to book author visits for the 2025-2026 school year. I'm available for virtual and in-person visits ages Pre-K3 through grade 12! I love speaking with students and tailor my workshops to the needs of your classrooms.

My favorite preschool author visit question of the day? "Do you like pickles?" Why, yes, I really do! Turns out kiddo was new to liking pickles so I welcomed him to the club!
