Young readers need to see themselves in stories which is why my daughter and I wrote GUT REACTION (Scholastic, 2024) about her experience with Crohn's. It's full of humor, friendships, baking, and hope. We think you can relate @CynthiaMcFadden @KathleenBaker2.

Friends: an amazing book has a birthday today: THE LOST YEAR by Katherine Marsh. I had the honor of reading an advanced copy -- it was so thought-provoking and gave an insight into a slice of history I knew nothing about. Plus it's a darn good read!

Another great dinner with the darling librarians in CyFair ISD. These women work so hard to connect kids with books— and they take very good care of visiting authors, too! #librariansarerockstars #lovemyjob #kidlit
