Happy Book Birthday to TRADITIONS & RITUALS- children's poetry. I am delighted my poem, "On the Move Again," was included. My Mom was very wise. A ritual like this during a big transition made it a bit easier... for both of us. 🙂 Print and PDF versions are available at www.littlethoughtspress.com

Let's have some fun! The GOODNIGHT MOON stamps I bought today got me thinking... What would it look like if my book, FOREVER HOME was honored with being a stamp? Inviting my PB friends to share what their book stamps would look like. Template below. #GoodnightMoonStamps #bookstampchallenge #PB

@jestrudel.bsky.social's "How to Land an Agent" @write4kids.org, was a fascinating peek at the behind the scenes of agenting, considerations an agent has when they read your query and how to build the best relationship. Thank you Jes. One of the best classes I've attended. New respect for her job.

I am very excited to "Mother Earth is My Home" included in "Bless the Earth" by @nancytupperling.bsky.social and @junecotner. What a thrill to see my poem illustrated by the talented @keumjinsong. Available for preorder now. A wonderful book to share with your littles.

Favorite gift given: Working with amazing poets to send a mini get well anthology of poems to Jane Yolen. Favorite gift rec’d: My new “Frameo.” Every 5 seconds a new image with its own story appears. It is sure to be the gift that keeps on giving. How about you?
