Hi everyone! Guess what? BARTALI'S BICYCLE is half price for the next seven days at Barnes and Noble!! Yippee! I'd love to see this book in the hands of children all across the country, especially now, in this current political climate. #kidlit #Heroism 🚵 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bartalis-b...

That time I met my dad’s old army buddy Henry Mancini at the airport. I was six, and he was tired, but he still signed my music. 🎶

I just deleted my threads account. So much misinformation and anti-semitism. It really is perfectly normal to grieve the deaths of every child in every location at the hands of anyone and also to care about hostages kidnapped by terrorists. That’s called being human.

In the past two months, I’ve had bronchitis, Covid, and now a head cold — almost back to back. Today, I’m not only miserable, but mad at myself because at least I have a home, food, water, etc. Why so sad, snowflake? Still, I wish I could escape to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory for a while.

My son recently moved back to the area after doing a ton of professional theater in other cities, and he just won the emerging artist award. I mean, it’s great, but he emerged from Boston Conservatory and took off like a rocket long ago! #actor #broadway #theater #triplethreat #music

Spent the day yesterday trying to get into the car — thought the key fob battery died, and it has no manual key! Locksmith 1 didn’t show up. Locksmith 2 set off the car alarm but couldn’t get in. It was the car battery that died! Replaced that and came home for sangria! #wine #whine #kidlit #cars

And it’s a beautiful PW review! I know I’ve been posting a lot about this book, but I’d dearly love to see it in every school library and home — without this groundbreaking research, countless more would have died of Covid. I’m so grateful! #kidlit #edusky www.publishersweekly.com/9780063216624
