Happy Book Birthday! This engaging and thoughtful picture book by @karenkrossing.com and Cathie Jamieson will make kids think differently about what’s under their feet. Loved it! @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social #picturebook

It's always a thrill when my kid's book gets a good review, but extra wonderful when the reviewer is a kid himself. Thank you so much to The Maritime Edit and River Mullinger for the awesome words about How to Kidnap a Mermaid! #mglit #kidlit #bookreview #howtokidnapamermaid

It’s that in between time of year when the wood stove is on but quickly overheats the house, subsequently the too toasty beasts abandon their beds and get all flopsy. #cats

Two cats flop on the floor and chair, over heated by the wood stove.

5 days until How to Kidnap a Mermaid is officially out in the world, but a few local kids have been reading the ARC - advance reader copy. A writer writes for readers and not many things fill me with more joy than seeing my story being enjoyed by kids. #mglit #middlegrade #kidlit

I have a soft spot for historical middle-grade novels, and Max in the House of Spies by Adam Gidwitz is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Set in WW II, Max flees Nazi Germany to England aboard the Kindertransport, where he is soon recruited into training as a spy. #mglit #kidlit #review
