#scbwibird Writers & Ilustrators: Do you have a favorite animal companion while you work? Love our group tag because my writing buddy is my parakeet, “Elfy”(who even joined us on our mountain vacation!) He became ours 8 years ago when he was my twins’ preschool pet and we bonded.

Favorite quotes from gifted author Philip Pullman, “If you want to develop your craft as a writer, READ!”; “Hope is a virtue, not a temperament.”; “Storytellers’ responsibility is to the story, to tell the story as best as they possibly can.” Thank you, #scbwi #scbwisummerspec ❤️

Kwame Alexander: “If you are going to be a writer, you have to be living a life that is worth writing about. How do you bottle up this inspiration that comes from the world and give it back in a way that is inspirational and meaningful?” Love this! Thank you, #SCBWISummerSpec

I remember the day my daughter and I bought “Each Kindness” at her school book fair. Now a middle schooler, we sat together in complete awe and admiration listening to gifted Jacqueline Woodson read from “Brown Girl Dreaming”, “Show Way”, & “The Day You Begin.”❤️#SCBWISummerSpec

Can’t wait to order Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple’s poignant upcoming release, “I Am The Storm.” Beautiful job channeling turbulence and uncertainty into resilience and hope on the written page. Illustrations are gorgeous too! Thanks for the great preview at the #SCBWISummerSpec

Special memory, Oct 14, 2016. Author school visit at Tinker K-8 and Read-a-thon Celebration! My how our world has changed since then. Can’t wait until the pandemic is over and large student body group gatherings are safe again.

Over 20 Navajo voters rode three hours on horseback to cast their ballots in #election2020 on Tuesday. Community leaders feared widespread disenfranchisement in Navajo Nation, where mail can take weeks to arrive — if it gets there at all. nyti.ms/38gh9jA

20th Anniversary. So many horrors, so many heroes. Remembering brave lives lost, national unity, and how "ordinary people came together in extraordinary circumstances." Lifting up firefighters, medics, doctors, nurses, police, intel, military, and families who lost a loved one.
