I'm hearing from more and more #libraries putting Fire Flight on their summer reading list! I love getting wildfire, helicopters and owls into the summer mix...

It's great to see the Educator's Guide for Fire Flight being circulated!

Thank you so very much Jamie Michalak 🐭!!
Hard to believe we first connected 20+ years ago - over my book about a moth and yours about two friends - and now celebrate the connectedness of an owl, a pilot, and all of us in Fire Flight!

Fellow #writers , are you equally pumped that Taylor Swift is elevating writing and ideation worldwide?
I can’t ✨believe✨ that a global star is illuminating TYPEWRITERS and CARD CATALOGUES in 2024. I feel so lucky to be writing in her era(s). ✍🏻 #WritingCommunity #swifties

Check out my TV interview on CBS with Mederios Babb - who 1st broke the story! SO excited to broaden the circle that connects all of us - owls, heroes, storytellers, readers.

We all want rave reviews...but does it get better than a thumbs up from a teacher? ✨♥️ School visit tomorrow and my presentation is going to be FUN!

Kristi's 2nd book in the series is officially announced!! 🦙🦉 I can't WAIT and I love these saucy owls and alpacas. Congratulations Kristi!! 💥🦉✨

OK, I've officially finished 3 months of being a debut picture book author, and I have a prescription for anyone about to go down that path:

Drink lots of liquids and get plenty of rest.

Seriously! It helps. Especially tea. #WritingCommunity

I love this!! Great advice from Sylvia Liu (that I need to remind myself of frequently)!

Woohoo! Let's hear it for these awesome 2024 books!!

I am SO proud and excited that this beautiful owl will be flying to the #bolognachildrensbookfair with its supremely talented creator, Chiara Fedele!!

Bringing warmth, empathy and awe to everyone who takes it in - and lets it stay.
