Frances K Sweet Elementary

Today I had the honor of helping celebrate the Young Author Winners at Frances K Sweet Elementary. These kids and their amazing teachers (and principal!) blew my socks off! It was a privilege to be a part of it 🤗 Thank you!

Let's Call It Research

That just sounds better than "not writing because I'm watching a hilarious You Tube show of two guys reading picture books."

Open Call for NF

As explained in this link: "I am currently looking for manuscripts for children in grades K-3 that tap into that sense of wonder. Manuscripts should focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) topics and should present those topics in playful or unconventional ways. And finally, these books should be able to be illustrated with photographs, though the author will not expected to do photo research. That said, authors who are also photographers and can provide images are welcome to submit."

Meme Mystery

Today I googled "happiness is shopping at homegoods alone" and 

no memes came up. How? How did the internet miss this?

Hello Sunshine

I recently started following Reese Witherspoon and her genius book club, Hello Sunshine, online and I think she should add a kidlit category. Just sayin'...
