#kidlitpit ROCK STARS DON’T NAP X SHEL SILVERSTEIN’s “SICK”
Sharks can do lots of things-swim & play & float in their sleep-but they don’t clean their rooms & they definitely don’t listen to Grandmas! #PB #HA #pbwriter

A 'picture walk' is a fun pre-reading activity. Start with the cover, explore the illustrations, ask questions, make predictions, and connect to their experiences. Enhance comprehension and make reading interactive and fun! #kidlit #readingtime #readtokids #amwriting #pbwriter

We celebrate jólabókaflód on Xmas Eve. We get books, chocolate, blankets, and all things hygge. We read, snuggle, play board games. It's the best way to rest and relax before the chaotic fun of Christmas morning. #amwriting #pbwriter #scbwi #jolabokaflod #picturebookwriter

Went to the Morton Arboretum and spotted Mushroom Rain (my outfit next to my illustrations really clock my favorite color scheme) :-] Laura K. Zimmermann

I've been having a rough week dealing with some very extreme nerve pain, but my new business cards arrived today and made me so happy. 😊 #moo #kidlit #pbwriter #andsometimesillustrator

This was my entry to #50PreciousWords a few years ago. I still love it what do you think?

Luckily this shadey creek is two blocks from our house. We really needed to cool down.

We played for hours. I played with words; they played with water & sand.

And. . . yes, when I finish my edits, I jumped in the creek with them.
