Hooray for more happy news! @PublishersWkly calls BOB IS THE BIGGEST, STRONGEST, AND SMARTEST "emotionally generous." Don't you just love that? ❤️

Terrific review from Kirkus!💕"Modeling the key to making friends, this gentle tale wields its messaging with a whisper rather than a thump." Coming to bookstores and libraries in February from Penguin/ Rocky Pond, Amy Jindra Hodgson & me! I can't wait. #picturebook #kidlit

It's that time of year! And new beginnings take courage. If you have a favorite young reader, teacher, or librarian in your life who's heading back to school, this brave little tortoise, TRUMAN, might be a perfect companion. ❤️

It's that time of year! This WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN A BOOK ABOUT YOU? trio inspires kids to dream big and to be the authors of their own life stories. What better way to start the school year? ❤️📖 @choochoojoey @HarperChildrens #backtoschool #kidlit #socialandemotionallearning
I love seeing our sweet, size-of-a-donut tortoise, Truman, back in the NYT, and ready to meet a new batch of kindergarten kiddos!!!

Here's a fun Friday tip. Plan a day off and then write. Head to a park, then write. Have 10 minutes before dinner? Write. It's like a surprise gift. The pressure is off because you didn't expect to be writing. That's when the magic happens. #kidlit #writinglife #writing
A few weeks ago my writing tip was to read current, curated & award-winning books. For picture book writers, here's another list of must-reads. Congratulations to all the new Charlotte Zolotow Award, Honor and Highly Commended titles! tinyurl.com/yc256t7s #kidlit #picturebooks
Celebrate Valentine's Day with a great book ... and chocolate of course!
