Snow ❄️ is falling in Vermont, but my wood is stacked and I’ve got brand new shiny website.

Hi Teacher and Librarian friends!
We're now booking author visits for 2025/2026. If you're interested in a school visit/writing workshop, please reach out. “Steve is TOP NOTCH! He keeps the students fully engaged."

Hi Florida Educators! Interested in hosting a children's book author in your school? LMK I'm presenting at the FCIS conference (Building the Music - Literacy STEAM Connection) on Nov. 21 in Jacksonville . Hope to see you at the FCIS gathering! @FCISnews
My book Turtle Tide was published in 2005 Twenty years later my four grandchildren gather round it to read. I love the longevity of books and reading. #books #Reading #seaturtle #TurtleTide
What a fantastic year of school visits! Thanks to the extraordinary librarians and teachers that hosted me! I loved presenting and I hope I sparked curiosity and encouraged reading and writing. At work on new books and new ukulele tunes so let’s do it again next year!
It’s April 4th! Happy National School Librarian Day!
Thank you for all you do! #hugalibrariantoday #schoollibrarian #school #reading #kidlt #books
I love you Lenny, the school dog
@BlackBearkats from 4th and 5th and I were able to meet @steverswinburne today. He was so awesome! I received so much love from him. He also told me he was going to take me to Vermont! I can’t wait 🐾

My author visits highlight the magic of books and reading and writing. And lots of good information about monarch butterflies, giraffes and sea turtles. Book now! I’ve a few dates available for 2025! #kidlit #schoolvisits #nonfiction #STEM #STEAM #ukulele #schoollibrarians #books

What a fantastic program! @readygrowgarden
It’s a beautiful day to have children outside in the sunshine 🌞 #VitaminD breathing fresh air, and growing healthy organic food in their #schoolgarden! 💚🥦🥕👏This week we’ve taught close to 2,600 students in outdoor classroom gardens all around #houston #GardenDay
I’m just down the road from Graceland. No sign of Elvis, but we’ve got a bunch of happy 4th and 5th graders!
Thanks Bon Lin Elementary for hosting me!

Yay for Giraffes! Yay for Math! @LittBrownYR #kidlit #nonfiction @Save_Giraffe Thanks @RTG_TutorGuitar
The title of this book might be a little off-putting as some people see the word math and start to shake, but it's a wonderful exploration of giraffes with some math connections. It's perfect for animal-loving, science-y people.
Thank you, @steverswinburne & Geraldo Valerio!
