Things are just terrible right now - but this made my day. @nadawrites.bsky.social was my student at GWU nearly 20 years ago, and now her first children’s book COOKIES AND CRESCENTS will be out on March 4, and I am so, so proud of her. ❤️

A children’s book - “Cookies and Crescents, an Eid Story” featuring a little girl holding a plate of cookies.

Baby up at 3 am. He’s started teething early. Managed to get him back to sleep at 5. Couldn’t sleep myself so stayed up and did early morning writing. What is sleep anymore? But at least writing is happening. 🙂‍↔️ #authorsky #kidlit #booksky #amwriting
