Have you helped a child connect with a book lately?

Found the journal I kept from my very first Ramadan as a revert ☺️ Read the page where I found out I was pregnant with my 1st🥹1st turns 13 tomorrow inshallah and Ramadan is around the corner 😭 🗣️So. Many. Feelings.

I have a single bookshelf. It’s supposed to keep me from hoarding books because I have no chill. It works because after a while, I’m forced to donate books to keep the bookshelf tidy.

I can’t tell if these headaches are from fasting or my new glasses. 😵‍💫

Thought I would take up coloring to relax. Joined a Facebook group and saw someone coloring using an embroidery technique. Nevermind.

I really hate when I put something important in a spot where I won’t forget it and still forget. 🤦🏾‍♀️

A little book news.

I grossly underestimated how big a jackfruit is. Now it’s on the table and I’m just like 🤷🏾‍♀️

I hope to see you at one or more event. Rowayton Library scbwi NY Public Library Darien Library Read to Grow Westport Library Reach Out and Read New England SCBWI #kidlit #AuthorLife
