Environmental note: the Robins are back (or they never left). I saw three small flocks of them (maybe 12 or so) before the cold and blizzard. I haven't seen them today. #climatechange #minnesota

I'm so looking forward to talking with young readers and moms and dads and teachers about my book, The End of the Wild, wild foraging, weird families, the whats and whatnots of fracking, and wonderful friends at this event! stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/97800619…

Praise the science teachers who get kids outside, have dead or alive animals and bugs in their rooms, host science fairs, teach the scientific method, encourage questioning and curiosity and stewardship of our most precious resources...and children. Thank You, National Science Teaching Association and Children's Book Council! x.com/lbschool/statu…

I just preordered GHOST BOY forthcoming by Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes, whose writing I studied like crazy to learn the art of writing for middle-graders. x.com/lbschool/statu…

I am blown AWAY by the insight from the young readers and the ideas of the teachers at Hopewell Elementary School in Bettendorf, Iowa. Thank you, students, Mrs Hornick, NBCT and @HopewellLibrary! x.com/HopewellLibrar…

We get starlings every fall here in southern Minnesota. They move like a school of fish. Mesmerizing. x.com/NPR/status/955…
