Got to love a fun story about a kid who is bummed out by the gift he gets but finds it takes him on wild, magical ride! By Meilin Chan and Kristen Chow #PB. 🐒 🐉 🐇 (Totally digging you can do the title in emojis!)

I love the #50preciouswords contest for training me to distill a story to its essence. It's the only contest I consistently enter since switching to kidlit 4 years ago. 3 Honorable Mentions later, I'm thrilled to join the winner's circle this year! Thank you, @viviankirkfield.bsky.social & judges!

This baby hummingbird flew out and couldn't get off the ground back to her nest! With roaming cats around, we were able to return her to her nest with her sibling! See two little heads?

I write in different libraries throughout the week and it's always a delight to spot familiar names. I might have pulled out @teresarobeson.bsky.social's book just a tad 😁.

I needed a writing break and went to check on hummingbird mama who laid 2 eggs about a month ago and look what I found!!

Scenes from the jelly bean candy factory! It smelled like melting sugar! Free samples were abundant and so were ideas 🙃.

Such a sweet horse made with jelly beans!

I took my kids to a kids tech innovation fair organized by a nearby library. An electric driverless bus and robot from a robotics team. Raspberry Pi kits can be borrowed like a book for kids to build a computer, a robot or a game!

It has been in operation around a big shipping plaza.

I took my girls to an animal show at the library where we met a capybara (he is only a year old)!

Monarch butterflies are overwintering in nearby farm's eucalyptus grove! Simply stunning!
