Thanks, Watermark Books & Café, for providing all of the books for my visit to Wichita Collegiate School for Young Authors’ Day! 😊

It’s #independentbookstoreday at my favorite indie BoB at Best of Books!
I celebrated by picking up Brenda Maier’s brand new Penguin and Panda books, and she’s so nice she decided she needed a certain bunnies book by a Very Familiar Author.

I spent my day with hundreds of young authors, a wonderful librarian, and three chickens named Bowzer, Bitsy, and Greg.

For a few frantic minutes after my alarm went off, I was looking all over for my glasses and couldn’t find them.
Reader, I haven’t worn glasses since 1998.

Recently, George Takei and BD WONG came together to discuss an autobiographical picture book; Jonah Newman had his first TV interview; middle grade authors gathered for an event + more events in this week’s In Brief buff.ly/4aQuXPs

Omigoodness! The school I’m going to tomorrow has these two listed with the rest of the staff!
It’s going to be such a good day. 😊

Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years.

Me: still calling it Twitter.

Ran into some real characters—including librarian Sharon Moore!—at Oakridge Elementary…. 😊

Happy #bookbirthday ! 🐧🐼

Today, I met a first grader who just got her first pair of glasses.
She told me she picked those glasses all by herself.
Then I told her she looked so beautiful.
She smiled really big and said, “I know!”
And I think we all need this kind of confidence!

A very LOVEBIRD LOU kind of time is happening at Rose Witcher Elementary…. 💚 Steph Laberis 👻 Union Square Kids
