Short story dispenser machine

How cool is this Short Story Dispenser in the Eugene, OR airport?!? You can choose between "Local," "Worldwide," and "For Kids" and with the push of a button, it spits out a mini story on a strip of paper. (Or several, if you're me.)

Thanks so much for putting this together!

Who else is heading to Boston for #NCTE24 this week? Here's where I'll be on Saturday, signing books and talking about "STEAM power"Looking forward to meeting lots of teachers and fellow kidlit folks! And having a lobster roll, of course. 🐧📘👨‍🚀📙❣️

Happy book birthday! Chasing Guano: The Discovery of a Penguin Supercolony

Hooray—CHASING GUANO is out today! 😊 I made "guano"-covered cupcakes to celebrate. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to write about this fascinating expedition. Many thanks to ALL who helped move this ms along over the years!

Happy Book Birthday to STEAM Team members @kateywrites.bsky.social & @lisavperron.bsky.social and THE REINDEER REMAINDERS and ALL THE ROCKS! Both are such amazing #stemforkids books.

STEAMTeam still mourns the loss of Katey a few weeks ago. She has left a huge hole in the KidLit community.

Congratulations to all the STEAM Team group members with book releases in July!
