Terrific review from Kirkus!! 💕"Modeling the key to making friends, this gentle tale wields its messaging with a whisper rather than a thump." Bob will be coming to bookstores and libraries in February from Penguin Rocky Pond, Amy Jindra Hodgson and me! I can't wait. #picturebook #kidlit #bookreview

It's that time of year! And new beginnings take courage. If you have a favorite young reader, teacher, or librarian in your life who's heading back to school, this brave little tortoise, TRUMAN, might be a perfect companion. ❤️

Thanks, Jillian!!!
It's that time of year! This WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN A BOOK ABOUT YOU? trio inspires kids to dream big and to be the authors of their own life stories. What better way to start the school year? ❤️📖@choochoojoey.bsky.social @harperkids.bsky.social #backtoschool #kidlit #socialandemotionallearning
I love seeing our sweet, size-of-a-donut tortoise, Truman, back in the NYT, and ready to meet a new batch of kindergarten kiddos!!!

Biggest surprise of summer so far: The Traverse City, MI wineries. Highly recommend! And the beaches? They were extra-special! ❤ #raodtrip #summerfun
I love when school visit thank-you notes are sprinkled with suspense! ❤️ #schoolvisit #schoolvisits #authorvisit #authorvisits
Look! Family Story Time bags that rockstar, #librarymediaspecialist Linda Hume (J.G. Brumfield Elementary) created for her students. What a brilliant idea! So excited to see WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN A BOOK ABOUT YOU? as part of this project.❤️

My MIL died from multiple myeloma. She was in incredible pain. This breakthrough means the world to my family. I cried when I saw it in the NYT this morning. Please thank your dad for me.
