If you're a librarian who would like early release information about my 2026 S&S picture book, GET A HUG, let me know! It's a Boynton-esque, songlike rhymer about the power of compassion and kindness. Illustrations by the amazing @liliuhms.com!

In 2023 I went to Iceland to do some research for a book about kids who rescue baby puffins & I can finally share that the story was sold! @lindaolafsdottir.bsky.social is illustrating & the book comes out in the summer of 2026. I can't wait for you all to read it! @simonkids.bsky.social
