This was my first introduction to Andrea Gibson and it made me cry then, and makes me cry now. They were a master of the human condition.

Happy Arbor Day! This recent book of mine culminates in an Arbor Day school assembly, fitting for a story that stars an heirloom apple tree, lone survivor of a vanished orchard, and the secrets concealed in its bark and branches.
Happy Arbor Day! If you can't celebrate by planting a tree, celebrate by inhaling the fragrance of spring blossoms or admiring the green of unfurling leaves, or just whispering a word of gratitude to a neighborhood tree or two as you walk by. My book, THE LAST APPLE TREE, culminates in a school Arbor Day assembly, fitting for a book that stars a very old apple tree that is the lone survivor of a vanished orchard, and the secrets it holds in its bark and branches. . . .

From my sister’s memoirs (in transcribed letter form, from her time living in Italy as a young woman in the late 1980s and early 1990s)… a tender read, and also so funny.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

In an effort to share helpful tools for panic attacks etc, here's one to try if you or someone you know needs help finding a moment of calm. The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique: Find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.

If you're a published author or illustrator (indie or trad, short stories & anthologies also count!), PLEASE join me as a member of Authors Against Book Bans. I'm the Colorado state co-leade, and we've already got stuff cooking to support a new bill protecting school libraries from book-banning.

My Thanksgiving-themed window display was the first I ever got to create at the bookstore a couple years ago. I loved working on the enormous shopping list. (And emptying the whipped cream cans for “safety”—oh, hardship!) Happy Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #bookstores #booksgiving #shoplocal

Spotted this bit of graffiti downtown the other day. I love it when the literal “writing on the wall” feels like just the thing I need to be reminded of in a certain moment. Thought it would make for a good first post here on Bluesky. Hello!
