Today's a good day to remember the people working so hard to ensure kids get ample nutritious food to learn + thrive. I have copies of Miss Betti to give away to the first 5 teachers or librarians at Title 1 schools to ping me. @kristenuroda.bsky.social @debbieohi.com #PictureBooks #KidLitMegaFeed

Bird-loving friends, I'll be reading my new kids book The Lonely Goose at the Chatham Bookstore in Chatham, NY. I'll be joined by illustrator Anne Hunter and a rep from the local Audubon. It's going to be a great morning and I hope you'll join us!

Prescient words from Sunday's NYT magazine interview w former Hungary ambassador David Pressman
Snippet of magazine text that reads "[O]ne of the things that is most alarming to me is just how easy it is to actually control people. It doesn't take secret police. It doesn't take gulags. The reality is that if you have the ability to overwhelm the media ecosystem with lies, you make the cost of engaging in public debate so high that it becomes an existential one."

While I wait for my new kids book to publish in March it earned a lovely Kirkus review, which calls it "a gentle but genuine depiction of loss and recovery" + a "clear, engaging and empathetic introduction to" Canada geese. Please consider giving it a pre-order! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
