Do you know what you’re looking at? BOOK VENDING MACHINES. Book vending machines with my art on them! Every elementary school in Stoughton, MA, got one of these and they chose to “wrap” them all with some of my drawings. Too cool. Thanks, @eileen_sprague, for having the idea!

Elements of Star Wars and Firefly grounded in vivid, warm family relationships. I loved STOWAWAY by @anderson_author. Fair warning: it's book one 😉

So. Fun. Way to create @NBJHReads!!
I visited two amazing Chicago-area schools today and one of them made a “put yourself on the cover of COYOTE SUNRISE” life-sized 3D photo backdrop set and it was, in a word, *remarkable.* @CeliaKrampien

The endpages of IF ELEPHANTS DISAPPEARED were so beautiful (all those shades of pink!) that I had to forego my habit of putting the date due slip on the right-hand page. An artistically-minded colleague and I combed the pages for an answer: @lwbean what medium did use for this?

Thanks @cartergoodrich2 for our new prickly friend Hank. Always love my annual summer visit to @HorizonBooks in Traverse City. Their picture book section never disappoints.

Our section of AKR books always brings a smile. Love hearing how she will be remembered with this yellow umbrella in Lincoln Park. Chicago author Amy Krouse Rosenthal's 'You May Want to Marry My Husband' essay went viral. Now her husband...

Chicago author Amy Krouse Rosenthal invited a bunch of strangers to meet her at “The Bean” in Millennium Park at 8:08 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2008. The strangers would make something together. …

Shout-out to @Stowell_28 for the cool math vids. From my perch here in the library, I get to see how Ss/Ts engage with the rotating probs. A Kohrs 1st grader knocked me out with her "EFCH" theory: EFH are made of straight lines and C is a curved line! What do u see? #innovate28

What an amazing book-home-family-school connection. Kudos to @WimsicalLibrary!
Prepping for a school visit, @WimsicalLibrary had students make art w their families 😥☺️ When ppl ask “What is 1 hope u have for Drawn Together?” I say that if our book could help even ONE reader connect w someone they love, my heart would be full. Update: MY HEART IS FULL ❤️

Superhero Lairs! Spied this fun math lesson in the 3rd grade hallway. Nice work Dr. Krauter's class! Of course we're rather partial to this particular floor plan...#innovate28

Today's teacher request: "Do you have sandpaper?" Library answer: "Why yes, yes I do. What grit do you need?" Why does the library have sandpaper? Book covering and repair. Why did the teacher need it? To help explain friction. #morethanbooks

Met the engaging @DanGemeinhart @AndersonsBkshp La Grange last nt. for his latest THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF COYOTE SUNRISE. Thanks for also sharing your wool-gathering moment that led to SCAR ISLAND ("All the grown-ups are dead and gone...And that's just how we like it.")

Just finished THE BOOK OF BOY by Catherine Gilbert Murdock @GreenwillowBook. Wow. Spare, heart-stirring page-turner. Couldn't agree more with @FuseEight "a sheer pleasure to read". https://t.co/tPcNEsghg7
