No picture book has brought tears to my eyes before, but this one did. Described on the inside cover as, "poignant, hopeful, and lovingly told"- it is very much so. Congratulations, @Derick_Wilder and @catiachien!

I loved this Book Chat! @rajanilarocca's energy is contagious! Thank you @JulieFHedlund @12x12Challenge for adding these this year!.

Spent yesterday evening with this stack of wonderful picture books from the #PBSummit 2021 recommended reading list. So relaxing and fun. I'll have to make a date with books more often!

#amreading #kidlit RONAN THE LIBRARIAN by @t_luebbe and @b_cattie, illustrated by @vmaderna is such a fun book! One small side effect for me though- I now have a slight inclination to say "Uff da!" when something goes wrong. 😆

#amreading WINGED WONDERS: SOLVING THE MONARCH MIGRATION MYSTERY by Meeg Pincus/ beautifully illustrated by @yasimamura. Love how it emphasizes that "WORKING TOGETHER CAN ACHIEVE INCREDIBLE RESULTS." So true! ♥️ this book and now I want to plant milkweed all around my house!

I'm glad to have this book by @AndreaDavisPink and Brian Pinkney in my library stack for #MLKDay today. Great book and fine example of the Parallel Narrative Structure. Read it! #amreading #kidlit

I didn't know Shel Silverstein wrote A BOY NAMED SUE until I read HELLO, I'M JOHNNY CASH by @g_neri. Really enjoyed this #PB!.

Can't wait to join @JulieFhedlund for Staying Creative in Difficult Times - a FREE #12x12pb webinar! Check it out. #amwriting #picturebooks #kidlit

The Statue of Liberty turned 134 today! Happy Birthday Lady Liberty! Maybe all that copper is her youthful secret?! 🤔😆

I've been away from writing for a bit, but yesterday I watched one of @JulieFHedlund 's Picture Book Writing Mini Lessons. Not only do I learn a lot from these mini lessons, but I feel an instant connection to writing again. It's just the pick me up I needed! 😊.
