The kids were so broken up by the loss in See You at Harry’s that their teacher suggested they share their condolences with Fern, the main character. When we say books inspire empathy, we mean it. #kidlit

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Answering questions about how I came to write this memoir, its impact on me and how I hope it affects readers, the significance of the title, and more.

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed right now. I’ve found 5Calls to be an excellent resource to keep those feelings from turning into despair and inaction. Maybe you’ll find it helpful too? 5calls.org

Today’s the day that Alfred Blooms! By me and @carmenmok.bsky.social, available now from @randomhousekids.bsky.social. Visit my website to see all my Alfred Blooms events this spring, starting this Saturday at Still North Books. I would love to read with you! carriekruck.com/events

The cover of Alfred Blooms by Carrie Kruck & Carmen Mok shows a boy covered in blue, yellow, and purple flowers and a cheerful yellow bird perched on his head.

A black and white pencil sketch showing a girl and a boy enjoying muffins together while butterflies fly around the flowers growing from the boy’s hair and pockets.

A colorful, whimsical illustration of a yard full of children playing on a swing and skipping rope.

A black and white pencil sketch of a boy covered in spilled wildflower seeds after a great big sneeze.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
