Happy Book Birthday to ATTACK OF THE HANGRIES! 🥳🎉
It’s a humorous scientific picture book about why humans get hangry & I can’t wait to hear about the conversations it inspires.
How will YOU fight the Hangries???

It’s been 5+ years since #BeasBees was published & I’m thrilled to say she’s finally in paperback! 🐝
It has been such a wonder to watch this book in the world! It’s been featured in literacy programs, storywalks, magazines & school garden programs—this after 54 rejections before the 55th said yes.
