Happy #NationalPoetryMonth! Why not celebrate with a good book? Just sharing some of my longtime favorites and recent reads. Enjoy!

We are so excited! BEST WEEK EVER!

I WON THE CARNEGIE! Shouts to the @CILIPCKG committee, the formidable Knights Of, and all the kids who’ve read Look Both Ways around the world. All the love.

@read_with_mrs_o @literaticat I have a list of 2020 debuts you may have missed :) readingmiddlegrade.com/2020-middle-gr…

I’m old enough to remember when vaccine passports were called immunization records and literally no one was pissed at that.

Ozymandias in the style of All Star (?)

Yesterday, two of our customers got hitched at the restaurant next door. Between ceremony and reception guests were invited to choose a book from our shop. We kept a running tab. An open book bar! I present this to you in case you thought the world had run out of good ideas.

Obama: You can’t run ads telling me you’re a regular old hoops playing dish washing fleece wearing guy but quietly cultivate support from those who seek to tear down our democracy….

So apparently my kid likes to rub it in to her friends that she’s “connected” — as in “where did you get the invisible ink pen?” “Oh, my mom works in an elementary school library — so she hooks me up every time they have the book fair.” She’s a Senior. 😂

Because it needs to be repeated.

Charter schools and private schools aren’t required to admit every child. They aren’t required to have a SpEd program or make accommodations. Public schools are required to accept every child and meet their needs…defunding public schools threatens the most vulnerable kids.

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself. Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.
