This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I'm thrilled to share this amazing review from Kirkus about THE QUIET FOREST. I think this reviewer really got what we were trying to do with this book. This story was a challenging puzzle to piece together, and I'm so happy with how it all came together. www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

"The use of onomatopoeia, alliteration, and repetition makes for a lovely read-aloud experience, and the many humorous details in the art make rereading a treat." ~ Kirkus Reviews

It’s National Doughnut Day - the holiday so important that it happens twice a year! LouAnn the bear says you never need an excuse to eat doughnuts, but just in case you feel like you do, there it is! You’re welcome. 🍩 💕

Here's a poem from 17 years ago that I never did anything with, but it's Halloween now so I thought I'd subject you to it. #kidlit #poetry #halloween
