#WRAD was a success. I loved sharing a sneak peek of A Geoduck Is Not A Duck with students in five states. They laughed. They asked smart questions. And one now wants a geoduck for a pet!

If you have a reader who always wants to know how and why things work (or maybe you are one yourself 🙋🏼‍♀️), I highly recommend EAVESDROPPING ON ELEPHANTS by @patricianewmanbooks . It’s a fascinating #nonfiction story about how scientists figured out the way #elephants communicate.

Hi #kidlit friends! How’s your 2024 going?

Would it be any better if I offered a FREE picture book manuscript critique? How about 5? Yep. 5!

All you have to do is retweet & also reply w/ the type of story you’re writing.

I’ll randomly pick 5 folks on 1/14/24 @ 5 pm. 🍀🎉🥳

I love this review of A Geoduck Is Not A Duck

If you have yet to discover THE FIRE OF STARS by @kirstenwlarson and @katherineroystudio , please do yourself a favor and get a hold of a copy. This #picturebookbiography of #CeceliaPayne , the woman who discovered how stars are produced is brilliant.

I love, love, love I AM AN AMERICAN by 📚🧁🍫Darshana Khiani🥻🇺🇸⚽️ and @laurafreemanart. It’s a poetic collage of the history of many Americans as well as a tribute to the way our diverse background makes us unique. #read #kidslit #america #america book

Mabel's Topsy Turvy Home written by Candy Wellins & ill. by #jessrose is a lighthearted, child-friendly take on having parents who maintain separate households. Despite the potentially heavy topic, Mabel's story is uplifting & relatable. Highly recommend! #SEL #divorce
