All things child development. Author of “Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Can Help Our Kids Thrive” and a bunch of picture books. Curriculum advisor for PBS KIDS’ “Carl the Collector.” I box, read, embroider, mom, and walk the dog.
After 10 picture books, my first book for older humans (aka adults) comes out on Tuesday. 💜 I don't know about you, fellow writers, but those two months leading up to a launch are just . . . . I'm ready for a long summer's nap!

Saw this diagram on a friends feed, and it made me belly laugh, which is something I need more of these days. So I stitched it up last night to preserve the feeling.

Thr bookstore I read at yesterday has a therapy-dog-in-training who comes to storytime! Piper let all the kids love on her — and the combo of read aloud, adorably attentive kids, and a sweet pup made for a perfect morning in the depths of February in New England.
