🦌😍 delighted with this nice review for my upcoming picture book, Oh Deer! Thanks, Kirkus! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Crede walks a fine line, depicting Jasper not as a cranky misanthrope but as a thoughtful creature who simply needs time to himself to recharge. Many youngsters will appreciate seeing a quiet protagonist portrayed heroically.

I'm so excited about this #sasquatch story all about being an #introvert who loves turnips. Relatable to everyone!!!! The illustrations by Erica J Chen are going to make you believe in #crypids.

Barb McNally at Sleeping Bear Press has bought world rights to Oh Deer! by Phaea Crede (l.), illustrated by Erica J. Chen. When a loner sasquatch's turnip garden is besieged by deer, he tries more and more wacky methods to keep his crops safe, until a lost fawn makes him rethink his solo ways and maybe even learn to share. Publication is set for spring 2025; Moe Ferrara at BookEnds Literary represented the author, and Becca Langton at Darley Anderson Illustration Agency represented the illustrator.

this #donotflush sign has made completely unglued. First: it doesn't focus on what you can't flush, but rather what you CAN. And THEN it hits us with the NIPS. It's a Yule miracle. #massachusetts

PLEASE!!! Flush only bodily waste and toilet paper. Small alcohol bottles go in the trash. Nip bottles clog the pipes, cause backup, and force us to close for clean up. Please do not flush them.

Phaea Crede @phaeacrede.bsky.social · 23/12/2023

Look what I finally got today!

Phaea Crede @phaeacrede.bsky.social · 17/12/2023

Honestly, this is the one. This #donotflush sign from the Weston Public Library is: - dainty - direct - features a toilet paper icon - toys with the idea of only flushing toilet paper then hits us with a lovely list of items not to flush - "flushable". Be still my non-flushable heart

Please flush only toilet paper. Toilet paper illustration. Do not flush feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, "flushable" wipes, or paper towels. Thanks.

Phaea Crede @phaeacrede.bsky.social · 17/12/2023

My eyes are burning from this #donotflush sign. The wild, bulleted "important". The floating, shouting headline. The subhead that proves title case is the devil's case-that typo wouldn't be half as wild in sentence case. Even the space after the exclamation mark is setting off a panic attack. Help!

A hanging sign that reads: Important Do not flush feminine products, disposi Ble wipes or trash in the toilet. Thank you !

Phaea Crede @phaeacrede.bsky.social · 17/12/2023

This #donotflush sign is SCREAMING at me and I'm not even doing anything untoward to their precious sensitive toilets! Also, the person who flushed a Lego and the person who flushed a pacifier are #twinflames right? I hope they meet and fall in love 😻 !! ! ** !

Attention!! We have sensitive toilets! Do not flush paper towels, legos, pacifiers, diapers, baby wipes, or feminine hygiene products! Thank you!

Phaea Crede @phaeacrede.bsky.social · 17/12/2023

Hey framed #donotflush sign, take my great grandmother's name out your ****ing mouth. If I saw this sign instead of my friend Jason I'd be stuffing handfuls of legos down its precious toilet. And then I'd pee on the floor because it says only toilet paper.

Our plumbing is older than your great great grandmother. Please flush only toilet paper down the toilet. Thanks!
