Great literary fun and frolic today at the 70th anniversary of Breakfast with the Authors! SBCEO @AlexisInCA

A gorgeous, heart blowing interview— perfect for your Sunday… open.spotify.com/episode/1SovB8…

I have waited sixteen years to have breakfast with this guy again—could not be happier! ✨💛✨ (And by the by, we still have copies left at Chaucer's Bookstore, and there is one day left of our 48th Anniversary Sale… 20% off the entire store. Dead serious.)

When mega-graphic novel superstar, Dana Simpson of PHOEBE AND THE UNICORN, stops by your local indie, Chaucer’s Books, and signs ALL your stock and promises to do an event— that’s the kind of work day I get to have! ✨🦄💜✨

Which flavor do you prefer?

Well, of course there was a largish KITTEN also holding vigil at the Nativity scene… like they’d miss anything that fascinating!

Love, forever more. 💕

Very happy and honored to learn that my middle grade novel, GREEN EYES AND HAM, has been included in the Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Books of the Year. Yay and hooray!!!
