Such a Fan!

When I’ve been doing school visits all day...and one of those kids at one of those schools MAKES his mom bring him to my nighttime store event so he can get more books.

A Piglet Named Mercy

Ohmigosh! L👀K what I just preordered! I can’t wait! — because, apparently, I’m six years old — but, SERIOUSLY, how can you NOT want to see Mercy as a piglet?! 🐷 Coming soon to my Little Free Library — AFTER I READ IT! ❤️ Debuts April 2! Woot!

Beautiful Flowers

I follow this incredible woman on Insta because of her abiding love of flowers (and INCREDIBLE flower arrangements), her joyful outlook on life, the posts of her beautiful home city of Amsterdam and her gorgeous cakes with SUGAR FLOWERS. Again: THESE ARE SUGAR FLOWERS. 😯🤭 😍

Celebrate You!

Loudly and proudly, let’s celebrate YOU! 🎈 From the first wobbly baby steps to the time when they’re ready to leave the nest, this charming new picture book celebrates all the small but important milestones on the way to growing up.

Thanks to VAAEYC 2019!

Hotel Roanoke — gorgeous, old historic hotel. I’m not sure if you can see the monogrammed hedges (!) and the mountains in the background, but... such a beautiful place. I’m delighted to be giving a keynote speech here today to Virginia’s early childhood educators.

Ready to Fly....again!

Unpacked, repacked and ready to hit the road again. 🏃🏻‍♀️ ✈️ Some of my FAVE travel things: my @awaylarger carry-on suitcase (I swear by this bag), my hooded trench coat WITH A ZIPPER POCKET FOR MY CELL PHONE (only $30 from @costco , btw!), my @trtlpillow (love!) and an awesome rolling @samsoniteusa computer bag — which also has to function as my purse, and which (so far! 🙏🏻🙏🏻) has fit nicely under every airplane seat for the last two years. • (PS: I don’t get anything for endorsements; I just like to pass along helpful info! 🤗)
