I had a fun time with India Hill Brown, celebrating her newest release, Girl from the Ashes. If you like spooky historically based stories, you'll enjoy her writing. I wrote a feature on her in the newest issue of Story Monsters Ink magazine. @storymonsters.bsky.social #kidlit #booksky #readers

The students listened intently during A DAY WITH THE DRAGONS story time! We voted on favorite dragons and crafted our own dragon masks. A book order for every child - how cool is that? #reading #kidlit #booksky #picturebook @alexandersants.bsky.social #teachers #librarians #readers #schoolvisit

Check out my column, The Book Bug, in Story Monsters Ink magazine @storymonsters.bsky.social 💻📚🖋️ Educator/author, Daniel Bernstrom tells me, "I hear words in cadences, specifically how they stumble, trip, pop, jump, slide, and sing." #kidlit #authorinterview #picturebooks #read #booksky #teachers

The best part of being a children's author: visits to elementary classrooms. Favorite new word that has kids cracking up? Bumfuzzle (to confuse/puzzle). I wrote WORD UP! to inspire, to remind little readers that words are so important-they build mountains! #booksky #kidlit @nutter3000.bsky.social

Review of the #childrensfiction WORD UP! by Raven Howell. "A terrific book...so colorful. It’s one of those books where it’s difficult to determine which is most important, the words or the illustrations." #Win a $20 Amazon/BN GC. buff.ly/scEdmtD @ravenhowell.bsky.social @nutter3000.bsky.social

Author visits to schools are my favorite! I'm sharing my #earlyreader THE CHARMS OF US FARMS about the importance of farming. After reading, we craft, and the students create their own farms complete with barn, livestock and produce of their choice. #teachers #booksky #farming #kidlit #read #library

A book cover is much more important than the #booklover probably realizes. Read my fun article about how the cover impacts everything from the story inside to the book buyer's decision.
