Imagine believing that books pose a greater threat to children than poorly regulated access to guns. We are lost.

Yaaaayyy!!! Happy #bookbirthday to @carliesorosiak and @devon_holzwarth. Cannot wait to read this beautiful #picturebook with my son!
Huge happy book birthday to EVERYWHERE WITH YOU, written by me (my debut!), illustrated by @devon_holzwarth, and published TODAY by @walkerbooksus! I’ve already managed to find a picture of it in the wild, from a lovely indie called The Toadstool Bookshop. 🌸😊🐾

Happy book birthday to phenomenal writer and human @KDEdwards_NC! If you haven't checked out The Tarot Sequence yet, I can't recommend the series enough! Incredible world building, characters that won't let you go, and witty, gorgeous writing.
Zero Day. And thanks for the #1 tag, Audible lovers! I am freaking dying to hear what you think of @Joshuwhaaat's narration.

This writing group ❤️❤️❤️
I mentioned I wanted to spotlight two novels from authors in my writing group. @AliStandish's YONDER is....Ahhhhh I don't have words. It's mesmerizing, and lyrical. I cried reading this. It reminds me of those days when you're young and every friendship is life-changing.

It's a book that took me years to research, write, and rewrite in many forms. In short, I am so excited to get to share it with you today! Thanks to @AlysonDay @megilnit @VoiciSarah @chelseberly and the entire team at @HarperChildrens for helping YONDER into the world. 💕

just as little acts of courage can build into something beautiful & mighty. It's a mystery, a friendship story, & a coming-of-age tale, all set against the beauty of the #BlueRidge & sprinkled w/ magic. It's a @JrLibraryGuild Gold Standard Selection & has received 3 ⭐️s so far!

Today is the release day for YONDER!!! It's a story that takes place on the #WWII American Homefront, a time & place w/ so many lessons for our current moment. It challenges traditional ideas of heroism & explores how many little wrongs can pave the way for a much bigger one...
