¡Qué chévere! A mere sampling of the incredible wildlife and landscape on Las Islas Galápagos. If the land is moving, you can bet it’s a colony of hundreds of iguanas! #galapagos ❤️🦎🦭

Sharing a post from the very talented Carlos Aponte. 🏳️‍🌈 Love this 🏳️‍🌈 We have an upcoming book, Mariposa, with Neal Porter that highlights the tender loving relationship between Nana and her queer🏳️‍🌈 grandson. She is his supporter-in-chief. She embodies what humanity ought to look like. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

As an author of 🏳️‍🌈LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 books for kids, this ruling is outrageous, terrifying, and very sad. Children will lose out. The queer community will be further marginalized. We must fight back with more 🏳️‍🌈books🏳️‍🌈. I’ll be writing more. #authorsagainstbookbans #lgbtqrights #RepresentationMatters

To the mothers that raised me. Thank you. I try to emulate the values you modeled in everything I do. You showed me the importance of caring and love-of self and others, of family and not-family, and to celebrate diversity & inclusion.
