Katey was such a talented and kind person. Her sudden passing is a huge loss to the kidlit world, to the kids who would have read her future books, and especially to her family. I read and reviewed a preview of The Reindeer Remainders, and am pre-ordering this clever book now.

A huge thanks to the #educators , #bookstores , & volunteers who made this school year a success! I’m booking #schoolvisits for the 24–25 school year, so if anyone wants to spend some time with bears, witches, #wombats , or #pirate #sheep , my crew & I would love to hear from you! 🏴‍☠️

Sneak preview (pub date 6/11!) of a delightful celebration of creativity, intuition and logic!

Katey will live in the hearts & minds of the people who were blessed enough to know her & for everyone who reads her stories, she will continue to touch lives in infinite ways.

I am honored to have known her & to be forever connected to her through the book we created together.

⭐ #Nonfiction #HBReviewoftheWeek ONE DAY THIS TREE WILL FALL by Leslie Barnard Booth: ONE DAY THIS TREE WILL FALL; illus. by Stephanie Fizer Coleman (McElderry/Simon Kids): 'A model of what an excellent STEM-focused picture book can be in its effective interplay of text and illustrations.' hbook.com/story/review-o…

Love this picture book ONE DAY THIS TREE WILL FALL by Leslie Barnard Booth: ONE DAY THIS TREE WILL FALL and Stephanie Fizer Coleman. I never thought I could be so charmed by the rhythm, drama and beauty of the simple, but rich, story of a tree.
