SO much fun to hear Heidi Stemple read her brand new book about her mom Jane Yolen right on Jane's birthday. Two special birthdays in one! And we got to sing Happy Birthday before the cake was cut. 🎶 Check out my review on Goodreads! #newpicturebook #booklaunch #kidlit @heidieys.bsky.social

We had a wonderful Children's Book Fair event at the Peabody Institute library at Danvers on Saturday! #picturebooks #middlegradebooks #kidlit #bookfair

Hi there, thought this 'blue sky' picture might be fun to post as an overdue introduction.
