A postcard with 2 illustrations of Chin-strap Penguins, one of which is saying “I am penguin, hear me roar.”

It’s #KidLitPostcardDay…which I’m using as an excuse to not work on things I should actually be doing 😬

Thank you students and teachers for a wonderful #WRAD 2026! Today I read books and answered questions for kids in 10 schools from Texas to Massachusetts.
Best question of the day: “Do you have a job?” 😂😂😂

I had some great ones about my creative process and inspiration. My favorite: “ Do you have a job? “ 😂😂
