It’s been a busy #WorldReadAloudDay today! 18 school virtual visits and over a 1,000 kids have heard about how I write Ballpark Mysteries! I love how Zoom and Google meet allow us to connect multiple classes! #wrad #WRAD2024

One of the reasons we love #WorldReadAloudDay so much is to discover authors and books that are new to us, as well as “old favorites!” Today, different classes met Debbie Dadey, Nadine Fonseca, Melanie Ellsworth, David A. Kelly, & Ann Marie Stephens ! So amazing and fun! #WRAD 2024 #WRAD

#OTD , 6th Feb, 1971 - Alan Shepard played a little golf...on the #Moon !
After finding the ball, the analysis I did for USGA can be found here: tinyurl.com/y5jd2xmd
And it was wonderful to learn that this inspired a great children's book by David A. Kelly - Tee Time On The Moon:

Today is the 55th anniversary of one of the most famous and influential photographs ever taken
'Earthrise' was captured on Christmas Eve, 1968 on Apollo 8
Particularly poignant this year - the first without the whole crew still with us, after the recent loss of Frank Borman...🧵

Even more holiday White House!

More pictures from the holiday White House.

I got invited on a holiday tour of the White House on Saturday w/my son. Impressive decorations--someone put in a lot more time than I do decorating. Fun to experience!

Is it Christmas in Cooperstown, or Christmas in Washington DC? #kidlit #ballparkmysteries
