Thanks, Katie!

I’d love to be added!

Noooooo. I’m so sorry!

I’m not sure I can handle any more news

Ahhh!!! So excited for this!!

The one thing I’m certain of this morning #kidlit is that books matter more than ever.

But you just MIGHT need it!

My toxic trait is I like to buy celery and never use it.

Congratulations!!

I’m so glad it’s been helpful! ❤️

Graphic features the vibrant yellow cover of Whole Whale, with a huge blue whale tale surrounded by colorful whimsical animals, including a monkey, giraffe, panda, sheep, and lion. Above it is a party banner; around it are party whistles and horns. Below, the text: Available from your favorite bookstore.

The rumors are true! My debut picture book, #WholeWhale (ill. by Nelleke Verhoeff), is now a #boardBook! This huggable book has foldout pages that reveal the animals' solution to the question "Can we fit a whole blue whale?"
