Janet believes all stories should bring joy. And that sharing stories spreads joy. She also sent me a picture of nearby kids enjoying books from her new LFL including ONE CAN BE.

Janet not only writes books for kids, but also leads classes to help others do the same. 2/2

Wow! Janet Fox not only added my book ONE CAN BE to a @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, she added it to a LFL she built in her Montana yard after I asked her about my book. That's dedication. 1/2

And, because it’s important to have priorities in life, I need to say that I’m very happy with how my hair looked on TV.

Jenn’s books have received the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Schneider Family Honor, the Schneider Family Award, and the Theodore Geisel Honor.

She’s also parachuted off a mountain. (Yes, really.) And rafted an underground river to see the famous glow worms of New Zealand.

So. @jennbailey.bsky.social
is cool. She put my picture book, ONE CAN BE, in a Kansas @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Jenn’s a baker, LEGO builder and author. See her dog, Oliver? Her Chiefs T-shirt? Cool.

ONE CAN BE is in 23 states. 27 left. #onecanbe #50states #Kansas #littlefreelibrary #kidlit

My book -- ONE CAN BE -- is now at my local library. Thanks to the foundation board for ushering it into the building.

If you live elsewhere, your library may have the book. If not, they can order it for you or request it through interlibrary loan.

Two Oklahoma authors added ONE CAN BE to @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social boxes.

Traci Sorell added the book on the Mvskoke Nation Reservation in Tulsa. She also added her own book, WE ARE GRATEFUL, and INDIAN NO MORE, which she wrote with Charlene Willing McManis.

What’s a trip to the Twin Cities without stopping by Next Chapter Booksellers, Wild Rumpus and Red Balloon to sign ONE CAN BE and other titles?

Indie bookstores are the best!

Sometimes, being alone is where imagination begins. ONE CAN BE reminds readers it’s OK to be by themselves. Because even when they’re one, they’re part of something more. A comforting read for quiet dreamers who find magic in their own company. tinyurl.com/2fe7nks2

Eliza is the illustrator-author of NYT-bestselling MISS MAPLE’S SEEDS. Like me, she grew up in Wisconsin. Then she lived in LA, and now Minnesota. Her talent always amazes me.

I’ve worked with Eliza Wheeler on three books - WHEREVER YOU GO, WHEN YOU ARE BRAVE and WHEN I’M WITH YOU. I’m thrilled she added my latest, ONE CAN BE, to a Twin Cities @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Michelle writes in a restored one-room schoolhouse. (I know, so cool!) I first became aware of her when I read THE BEEF PRINCESS OF PRACTICAL COUNTY and loved it. And, HOPEFULLY THE SCARECROW is a favorite fall picture book!

I’m a huge fan of Jessica’s picture books ENOUGH IS ... and I THINK I THINK A LOT. They’re thoughtful, beautiful and full of heart.

Jessica’s also published poems in Funicular, Door Is a Jar, and Green Ink Poetry. “Broken Strings” was nominated for a 2023 Pushcart Prize. 2/2
