An innocent question from Sawyer Squirrel escalates into an uproar, with a mob of outraged parents storming the library! ARE THERE TURTLES IN THIS? is a sobering but ultimately hopeful look at the repercussions of a community policing the content of their public library. #PBPitch

Feared Pirate Queen Jacqueline the Red could not be stopped... until she fell in love with THE SELKIE MAIDEN. Now even jealous King Neptune can't keep them apart. A lyrical story in the tradition of classic fairy tales. #PBPitch #LGBTQ

You're probably written a first draft, but have you ever written your Zero Draft? I just read a great book of advice on writing picture books. Def. recommend! #WritingCommunity amazon.com/Picture-Perfec…

Do I write only so someone will read my words? No. Do I HOPE someone will read them? Of course. But I write because writing is akin to breathing. To refuse the urge would cause me immense pain. And eventually I would pass out.

Sometimes being a writer is googling "How long does it take cyanide to kill someone" and sometimes being a writer is frantically googling "Can cats eat strawberries" because your cat STOLE A STRAWBERRY FROM YOUR PLATE AND RAN OFF. #writerscommunity

This is going to be the year I get my shit together! I tell myself, while looking at the 2023 calendar that I haven't hung on the wall yet. 😛

There is no better feeling than getting a text with a photo of your niece and nephew reading a book together that you got them for Christmas. 🥰
