Bath Book Bash celebrating kids’ lit is back and bigger this year pressherald.com/?p=7185645

I will be at this year's Bath Book Bash on 9/9. I'll be there all day. Plus, you can find me in the game tent from 12:30-1:00!

To all the authors debuting this week: I’m sorry your amazing experience has been tainted. I know you’re telling yourself that the release of your book feels small in comparison to this big, bad world. But it’s not. I hope you still celebrate yourself. I raise a glass to you! ♥️

“If you’re wondering if you have a story, the answer is yes. You have a story that only you can tell and it’s just as interesting and just as fascinating as anything being published today.” — Christina Soontornvat - Updates only, author of A WISH IN THE DARK, to young readers + writers at Politics and Prose

Another thought for #teachers as you start a new year: Your students remember all your compliments, even if they don’t show it. Especially the ones who receive so few. They will hold it close and put it in their pocket. Trust me.

Much love for a great school year!
