“I will read the seeds a story,” said Toad. “Then they will not be afraid.” Toad read a long story to his seeds.

Toad sits in the dark by his garden, reading a story to his seeds by candlelight.

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

When I was volunteering at the COVID19 vaccine POD in 2021, people would say over and over again that they were getting vaccinated for the people they love. Last year, only 17.5% of American adults got the COVID19 vaccine. Please get one for the people you love. 💕

Come meet a surreal Alice, who may or may not be in a Wonderland of her own making. This poem by Thehara S. U. reminds us that time is alive:

she tells you how the rabbit’s pocketwatch / was almost blinking, his right foot almost ticking / why did I never realize that time is alive?

THE GREAT PUMPKIN PANCAKE PARTY is out in the world! This book is about food and family, and the traditions that help us become who we are. Thank you to everyone who has preordered, requested it from the library, shared it, reviewed it, or cheered it on. It means more than I can say.

A copy of The Great Pumpkin Pancake Party by Celeste Pewter, illustrated by Kelly Wu, sits on an outdoor metal table at sunset. The cover shows a young girl and an older man sharing a towering stack of pumpkin pancakes, surrounded by pumpkins, lanterns, bunting, chopsticks, and cozy autumn decorations. The warm golden light gives the book a soft release-day glow.
