Had a great time kicking off Dino-vember at Bowman Library. Got to meet Stevie the T-Rex from Dinoquest Adventures and found out his favorite book is Digging for Dinosaurs!

Crafts, storytime, & dino dancing made for a perfect Saturday!

On our walk today, this majestic heron posed for us before coming out of the water just to poop in front of us, then return to his perch.

Ah, the beauty of nature.

Got this little statue a year ago. Named her Flurry and started giving it scarves. A Halloween costume is obviously the next step, right?

As an author, I go to conferences, signing, school visits and more where I have to wear name tags. Now I have my own books on my lanyard.

When folks ask what I write, I can point and smile! Maybe I'll start a #kidlit trend?

Kids today, with whole computers in their pockets, will never know the struggle of phone cords so short you needed special furniture in your homes...

Took DIGGING FOR DINOSAURS to visit the smithsoniannmnh. Loved seeing the full sized dinos I researched and got to see scientists hard at work. Plus, I checked out all the books in the gift shop.

Great way to spend the day!

I had the best time this morning at @scrawlbooks.bsky.social in Reston, VA.
With a story time, scavenger hunt, real fossils, fossil making hand-outs and dino stickers we had a blast.

Scrawl is an amazing indie bookstore with fantastic employees. Check them out soon!
