If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone. bookriot.com/the-day-the-books-disappeared-school-visit-cancelation/

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.

Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

Going through old files reminded me how much fun it was living 11 years in sports-crazy Boston. The Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox and Patriots all won national championships while we were there. Riding the T into various sports venues was always a hoot with fans joining at every stop----such camaraderie.

The kiddo and I had our annual day-before-first-day-of-school trip to Lan Su Chinese Garden. Jasmine green tea, hibiscus tea, red bean moon cake and almond cookies for the stomach. Koi, water lilies, waterfalls and the most perfect quiet sanctuary for the soul.

On Tuesday, White House officials laid out detailed plans to eliminate Smithsonian exhibits that they determined represented “improper ideology." This heavy-handed revision of U.S. history has elicited comparisons among staffers to 1930s Germany. trib.al/ec7kBMG

While we celebrate yesterday’s win, we have to remember that the harmful impacts of this unconstitutional law continue. The judge rejected the state’s “government speech” argument, so they cannot just make orders to remove books they don’t like from on high. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/12/o...

Orange school district to review library book by transgender man after state criticism

State leaders say the book “Trans Mission, My Quest To A Beard” is “trash” that does not belong in public school libraries.

If you are thinking about buying EATING TO SAVE THE PLANET for yourself or as a gift, please consider pre-ordering your copy. Pre-orders are a tremendous boost for book sales for many reasons. How do you change the world for the better? You start small. You start with what is on your plate.

At age 5 or 6 I embroidered this tea towel. I worked for hours & was quite proud of myself until I realized I had sewed it to the skirt I was wearing. It was no fun to scrap first attempts and begin again--an early lesson that creatives need to start over and revise--in writing as in embroidery.

First hollyhocks of the summer, which always make me think of PRISCILLA AND THE HOLLYHOCKS and Anna Alter's amazing paintings for our book. Before I researched this book I didn't even know what a hollyhock looked like. Now I will always have hollyhocks planted in our garden.

85% of my writing is done on my laptop but sometimes, I need to use paper and pen to get the visuals that work best so my mind can process what a revision needs. In this case, reworking structure and chapter order in my WIP (Scholastic fall, 2026 historical novel). Today, old school rules!

250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a mad king. In two days, we’re taking to the streets again to say NO KINGS. 2,000 peaceful protests are planned in small towns and major cities across the country. Join your community on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

What a super fun, varied week as an author! 1) Lots of marketing work for EATING TO SAVE THE PLANET (this August). 2) Work on WORDS SPOKEN TRUE (2026 YA novel). 3) Proofs for the I'M GONNA PAINT paperback (this November). I love everything about the back cover text below.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

I was nervous about marching today, never before having protested in a country where people have "been disappeared" off public streets by what feels like an authoritarian government. Spending a few hours with thousands of other like-minded people to show what democracy looks like gives me hope.

I'm grateful that our second-grader goes to a school where he's been learning about the civil rights movement, especially Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the March on Washington and Ruby Bridges. His summary of what he learned is going to be my guiding light for Saturday's "Hand's Off" march.
