Today it’s raining in Alabama but yesterday we all got to meet the new MISS FANCY sculpture by griceart…and we sold out of books! TY #beautiful #Bham

Thank you! I think D-39 would make a great movie too. 💜

This reindeer at my local post office kind of made my day.

I have so much love for this program. YES to #ReadYourWorld !

A highlight of my year, for sure! Beautiful people, place, words.💜

Lovely to see AFRICAN TOWN included on SLJ Best YA of 2022. Charles Waters and I are honored and grateful for SchoolLibraryJournal recognizing this powerful history. 💜 slj.com/story/best-you… Penguin Teen

I love long poem titles! Here's one from TIGER TIGER BURNING BRIGHT: 'Soliloquy of a Tortoise On Revisiting the Lettuce Beds After an Interval of One Hour While Supposed to be in a Clump of Blue Hollyhocks' by E.V. Rieu. (The body of poem has just 2 lines of 8 words total.)

I've thought of about 15 captions for this video, and none of them is adequate. #beautyabounds #natureiscool

Just read this book..AGAIN.. and fell in love with it again. Don't miss. 💜 #waywardcreatures #restorativejustice #middlegrade

The audio features a spoken version and a SONG version, which is guaranteed to make you smile!

D-39 was very excited about this robodog meetup in Taipei. taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archi…

Now this is my kind of quiz. 5 for 5! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Because we are #voting today, Charles Waters and I will share this poem from AFRICAN TOWN.

Today I woke in a strange (hotel) room with John O'Donohue in my brain:

'I give thanks for arriving...
The waves of possibility
Breaking on the shore of dawn,
The harvest of the past
That awaits my hunger,
And all the furtherings
This new day will bring.'

Lucky educators to get to hear Charles Waters tell his story! 💜

One of my favorite things about fall: morning fog!
