I get to be the mystery reader for my son’s kindergarten class today! I’m bringing Bitsy Bat School Star by Kaz Windness *updates only* and Knight Owl by Christopher Denise. I hope they like the books! This will be good practice for my (hopefully) eventual school visits with my own books. 🤞 #kidlit

I love being part of 12x12 because of the community and the motivation! I've written more PB drafts and gotten more critiques (and therefor better manuscripts) because of it. Also, the monthly webinars and book chats make it completely worth it all on their own! #whyilove12x12PB

Happy Superb Owl Sunday! #Illustrator #humanartist

So excited to be on the train to NYC headed to the SCBWI national conference! #scbwiny24

The 5yo tasted dad’s black coffee this morning. His review?

I’m going away for a couple days this weekend for a con where I’m in the art show & dance show. Told my 5yo I’m going away for a couple days. He pouted, “Are you going to Highlights again”??

I finished THE LAST CUENTISTA the other day now that it’s the kids’ winter break. I had to put it down for a couple weeks because I was staying up too late reading before that. And now that it’s done, I’m dying to know what happens now??? So good, but so many questions! #kidlit
