Somehow, Fenway and Hattie is 10 today. 💙🐶

I'm not saying it's crazy cold. But I am saying that it was too cold for the kids to go outside for recess. In New Hampshire. As in, it was too cold for kids who live in New Hampshire to go outside.

Today I visited a school where one of the classes had pajama day. It is my deep wish to visit a school on pajama day where I also get to wear pajamas. Just putting that out there.

Deadline to submit pages extended to tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing! 😊

Favorite kid joke from this week (so far)...
Kindergartener: Why did the pickle live in the pickle jar?
Me: Why?

Yesterday, a 5th grader gave me a story he wrote from the POV of a dog, saying he was too scared to read it in front of the class. I told him I get it. That I would've never read in class in 5th grade (or ever).
Today I read his story. It involved much peeing & pooping. #kidsarethebest

FWIW, this also applies to working out, doing chores, and most other things in life. #amwriting

I'm so excited - a new picture book from @cheryllawtonmalone.bsky.social is coming in 2026! #kidlit
