Last year this was such a wonderful retreat. And I’m so grateful for the Kay Yoder Scholarship for History that allowed me to go to the @highlightsfound.bsky.social Novel-in-Verse retreat. Highly recommend! #KidLit

This was such a fascinating read. And felt heartbreakingly relevant to today. It’s based on the true story of a desegregation case in the 1930s in Lemon Grove. #MG #VerseNovel #KidLit

And this section under the Activities tab has a bunch of great resources like timers and help for anxiety or rage, and breathing exercises. I love it!

The zinnias seem to be winding down for the season. But you should see how the birds are enjoying the garden this week. So many feathered visitors.

She did this when she was 8 to save for a bunny. She remembered and asked if I would share with my writing friends again for this.
I’m pleased she’s developing skills with reading and communicating what works in pages for her. And I’m glad to see her taking initiative to make her dreams happen.

And lastly, Fighting Words. I feel really strongly this should be where kids can read it. It approaches sexual abuse by an adult in a very very child appropriate way. Helping kids understand without going into graphic detail. It’s just extremely well done in my opinion.
