Spent yesterday with some of my favorite humans over at DMG School, with a bit of an early start to the season. 🎄📚 I’ve missed reading with my kids, and we had so much fun with MURRAY CHRISTMAS (EG Keller). Thanks for having me @DMGprincipal! I’ll be back! #RetiredKidLitLife

Love this… #RetiredKidLitLife

I always love Neil Gaiman’s wise words… Cheers to a happy and healthy 2023!🎉

All reading counts.

How do we get EVERY SINGLE CHILD to be a reader? Do these 3 things & you'll give them a great start! 1. Read aloud to them. 2. Give them the widest possible range of books to choose from. 3. Let them choose freely and read for pleasure, and never dismiss their choices. #literacy

You can take the girl out of the library, but you can’t take the library out of the girl. 😉📚 So excited for the Book Awards this morning! #RetiredKidLitLife
