Thanks! Love the sentiment!
My book releasing next year is called, “Heroes Need Help.” We are ALL the hero of our own story, but we cannot do it alone. We need a team fighting alongside with us! Thanks for cheering us on.

Cheetos, spanakopita, and Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars.
(The Cheetos were so I wouldn’t cave to my vending machine temptation. 24yo’s brain tumor needed to be surgically drained for the 3rd time this year. He is cheerfully back to campus & I am cheerfully consuming the foods I picked when stressed.)

I went to Costco hungry, with my less thrifty husband. 🙂 So many of my favorite comfort foods came home with us! It was exactly what I needed.

The school moved the after school club into the library so our times of calm are rare.
So, I shake a maraca to get the kids’ attention when it gets too loud to hear the shy ones say their name at the checkout desk.
I miss the days when a rain stick did the trick, but we are a louder society now.

My black cat wanted to share a recommendation too. JAMES’ READING RESCUE. It’s a great read aloud. Sara Casilda’s black cat depictions are a spectacular match for @dianneaws.bsky.social’s message.

Some students have said there are axolotls in Mexico that they get see when they visit in the summer. Those kids want to know more.
Others get excited about the concept but aren’t interested in the books. I think that batch of kids learned the word from Minecraft. The real ones aren’t so boxy.

Is there a place you would recommend purchasing? Like maybe an indie that ships signed copies or a candy store that needs extra customers?

Have your students’ passion switched to canybaras and axolotl too? They must be involved in a you tube video because my little ones can’t get enough. Plus I hear a phrase I have never heard prior to this year. “It’s against the law to own one.” That sentiment is said more often than “6~7”.

This week is all about maintaining the status quo. With a 500 mile medical trip for/with the 24yo, a week without setbacks is the goal. (After writing a picture book with “chemo isn’t the bad guy” as the theme, we’ve realized that needing chemo could leave him ineligible for internships.) 😕

Would love to see this as a series! Kids often ask for “creepy” books!
