#pbfomo So not fair!!! @thehornbook.bsky.social reviews so many good books coming out — it’ll take my local library YEARS to get even half of them on the shelves. Anyone have a spare $1000 for one book-hungry reader? #kidlit #kidlitcommunity

WRITE OUT: Day 3
Truth is, I did not go outside to write this poem. It was 4am and FREEZING! But I did gaze out my window at a morning star…
Poem on the blog!

liquid windowpane
sunshine splash
cobble shrieks and giggles
foamy tickles on her face
slips a shawl across her shoulders
waves goodbye, laughter
coursing toward
