Yes…I’m feeling particularly seen right now! 📚😍

Depends on my internal dialogue that day:
You have too many already: 1 📚
I’m an Adult it’s my $ (plus these are all for research anyway): 2-3 📚
At this rate the 🌎 is ending soon,
so might as well: 7-35 📚

Had a fantastic time in Cincinnati at #booksbythebanks Saturday signing Mud to the Rescue! and discussing writing for kids. I also got to share table space with the amazing @kimlongmg.bsky.social and Jessica Fries-Gaither! #kidlit #picturebooks 📚🥳 @weboflifebooks.bsky.social

Yes and we had a blast meeting kids and parents, talking and signing books, and discussing our fab friend Teresa! 🥳📚

Looking forward to Saturday’s #booksbythebanks in Cincinnati! I’ll be signing Mud to the Rescue! and joining other #kidlit authors on a panel about writing for kids. 📚 #books #bookfestival #STEM #weekend

I'm so happy it's finally September! So much going on in the kidlit world. I discuss this and more in my latest newsletter. tanyakonerman.wordpress.com/2025/09/

Another reason to love September! #WorldKidlitMonth #kidlit #September #picturebooks #middlegrade #ya

Right there with ya! Will probably hike or work a puzzle today to get out of my (blocked) head!

I absolutely loved Before the Ever After!

Finally BIC’d 🪑👩‍💻 this morning to start my #middlegrade #nonfiction proposal, even knocking out the outline and a bit of the Overview. Would love it if this energy and focus could follow me into #Monday for my #picturebook writing! 📚🗓️

Always! Then I feel I have to rush through them!

These look great! Do you send them to newsletter subscribers, librarians, schools, or who?

It’s hard to keep up! I try to post more visual things on IG so I’m limited there. I’m actually seeing good engagement on FB still.

Love, love, love it! 🐿️

Looks fun!
