So thrilled that @slj.com called my and Megan Elizabeth Baratta's picture book, My Backyard Used to Be, "a meaningful addition to school and public libraries, as well as a lovely choice for readers to take home." #kidlit

Fantastic! Please let me know how it fits into your curriculum. There’s also a free teacher’s guide on my website if you want to take a look.

It's fun to see my book birthday recognized by @12x12challenge.bsky.social , which has been such a big part of my writing journey!

Do most #kidlit writers have their Instagram accounts public or private? Instagram is a bit of a mystery to me. In promoting my launch event, several local businesses suggested I make my story public so I can tag them and everyone can see it, but I'm not sure that I want all my info public. Thanks.
