Thank you for featuring this book - such wisely chosen words in your summary of this story.

A peek at the Pearl’s “Neighbors Together Night” last night. So much to do – bubble machine, a live DJ, a firetruck to view, first responders to meet & vendors of all kinds, plus fall-themed events @ the new Pullmans Market. Thank you to the Twig Book Shop for hosting me on this very special night!

Congrats to my friend Carolyn Leiloglou, invited to talk about her amazing art-themed chapter book series – available in the museum’s shop – at the McNay art museum’s 2nd Thursday event. A band, food trucks, picnicking on the grounds & free entrance to the museum that night, too.
Such a fun event!

A huge congrats to my friend Jessica E. Knight on the release of this gorgeous picture book! The REAL Alamo Cat intrigued Jessica so much, she made her the ⭐️star of this fun and heartwarming fairytale set, of course, in Texas.

Sounds like so much fun - and thank you for the kind words about IF I WERE A PARK RANGER! And I love these questions and the answers.

Lots of National Parks fans for Saturday’s B&N La Cantera IF I WERE A PARK RANGER event. Some wore National Park T-shirts. And…a former National Park Ranger stopped by, too

Thank you B&N La Cantera for arranging this fun event!

And here they are...snow globe crafts created by young artists at the Barnes & Noble Lafayette author event in Louisiana on Saturday. Such glittery fun!

Thanks to the Lafayette, Louisiana families who stopped by Barnes & Noble Lafayette for the SECRETS OF THE SNOW GLOBE story time & craft on Saturday, March 22. The young artists allowed me to photograph their creations – I think their glittery snow globes are simply magical. See next post!

Hey, Louisiana, I'm heading your way with a special story time...

Yay to Kris, my friend & CP, on her awesome Sunday story time and signing of BE MY VALENSLIME @ B&N Northwoods. That window display was a dream ❤ - the kids were engrossed with Kris's animated reading & had fun with the coloring sheets of their favorite monster, Snoodle. Congrats, my friend!

A bit of whimsy added to the backyard...I imagine a little mouse in a top hat and bowtie living there.
