Audiobooks are a fantastic way to help young readers follow along, improve comprehension, and build vocabulary. They’re also a wonderful support for children with reading challenges, making stories accessible for everyone!
The LEIF’S GIFT window display is officially up at Books of Wonder! It was truly a gift to install it, bringing my debut book, illustrated by the amazing Lenny Wen, and published by Norton Young Readers, to life. If you’re in the NYC area, please stop by and see the display in person!

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).
Once upon a time I researched the stories behind the logos of 32 book publishing houses.
