Queen Lili'uokalani-truly an amazing person in so many ways. Blown away doing the research for this time-travel adventure-biography, and so were Kenneth and Aleesa, when they traveled back in time to try to help her save her kingdom of Hawaii! #aloha #Hawaii #internationalwomensday2026

The Twilight of Literacy…? I swear, I know what the word doomscrolling means. After all, it’s been around since the twenty-teens, and was added to dictionaries several years ago now. I’ve regularly used the term, even in ess…

Super fun reading #WRAD to third-graders in snowy PA--read this book--yes, it's cold in North Dakota, too--just ask Jake! Q&A always a kick: "What happened to you that inspired you to write this book?" A: "Ten years in Minnesnowta!" www.margosorenson.com

Thank you, as always, dear Debbie, for all you add to this vibrant community to keep it going for all of us! Aloha!

A sweet former student of (yes!) almost six decades ago mailed me this ornament--and has gifted me many lovely reviews for my kidlit books. Let's keep the reading wave going! #reading @litpress.bsky.social @arcadiapublishing.bsky.social 📚#kidlit

Super fun w/130 kiddos--fun Q&A & giggles! "What is your favorite animal?" "Where does the illustrator live?" "Where did you go to elementary school?" "How old are you?" (last Q's A: "Well, let's just say I learned to read on clay tablets." )😁 @litpress.bsky.social #readers #picturebooks #librarian

Love how you spread joy and ebullience wherever you go, dear author-illustrator buddy! Thank you for sharing your aloha with all!🌺

Very honored to be invited to meet with these kiddos! During the Q&A there's always at least one question I've never heard--kids are amazing! Fun and giggles ahead....
