If you have not grabbed a copy of The Burning Season by Caroline Starr Rose, I advise you to change that ASAP.

Set against the backdrop of Robert Kennedy Sr.'s 1967 poverty tour of the Mississippi Delta, The Lucky Ones is "a touching novel that resonates today."

Any podcaster friends out there want to talk about neurodivergence and sensory processing rep in picture books? My next book, I WANT TO DANCE IN PANTS, drops Mar. 15 and deals with those topics. Hit me up for availability!

A tradition unlike any other. The morning of our last day before break our principal, Sue Haney, caters a breakfast for our entire staff. She also gifts each staff member a book of their choice to enjoy during break. It is a magical morning. It is so much fun seeing the variety of books!
