Some days my imagination needs a vacation. Sophie Blackall’s art and stories help when I’m wistful or weary. I see this dreamy character every day and I’m thankful.

@pbrisingstars.bsky.social Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you to the mentors and the PB Stars! I appreciate the gift of your time, inspiration, encouragement and the opportunity to apply. You’re all making a difference.

My 2025 #50PreciousWords entry.

Thank you, Vivian Kirkfield, for pouring yourself into childhood literacy and the #kidlit community! You mean a whole lot — to a whole lot of us!

I met this little girl on a Saturday. We talked about violins & my sock puppets. On Sunday, she returned to the festival with her fiddle and the sock puppet she made Saturday evening — to show me on Sunday!! We played tunes together and laughed at our precious puppets. Oh my heart! #SCMA #NTIF

I’m off. Deactivated. Scrubbed my posts a few months ago & today—gone. I won’t miss that creepy X. But it’s been hard to leave a virtual community of all things kid lit. Hope to try harder to find everyone here.

I’m thankful to
bsky.app/profile/debb... for creating so much helpful info for the #kidlit community here.

I want to leave the formerly twitter space but am afraid of abandoning the community there, happy memories, pitch events, chats, PB writers & librarians.

Thanks for paving the way Debbie!
