My buddy today while I write on the beach: a speedy little ghost crab (who likes feathers)!
Thank you, @12x12challenge.bsky.social for this feature. I continue to learn so much about picture book writing from your webinars, book chats, and fellow members!
Shoutout to my critique partners- they really are the best! And thanks @12x12challenge.bsky.social for introducing me to them, and helping me learn & grow. #kidlit

Loved that show! And it’s worth a second watch to look for all the hidden ghosts in the background of scenes.
Awesome! I remember this story pitch from the #PitchMe contest. Congrats!
Thank you. I’m excited!
Thanks!
Nice! was just looking for writing podcasts to listen to.
Awesome! I was just looking for more writing podcasts.

All of my daydreams, drafts and deep edits of picture books just got the best plot twist… I now have a literary agent!

Whipped up a little #kidlitchucklechallenge story today! You’ve got a couple hours left to do so too.
Awesome!
A few #picturebooks I’m loving lately. #kidlit
Hey #educator friends! This would be a great #PB to have in your classroom, especially for any students affected by a disaster or painful move.
And for my #STEM friends, an engineering challenge to see how many “things” your robot chipmunk could carry?

#kidlit friends, you’ll want to watch this. This PB is soooo good! Heartwarming & I giggled out loud.
A chipmunk’s home is destroyed so he stuffs his cheeks with his remaining possessions— and in time, he finds that it’s okay to let go of his tight hold on the past so he can smile again.
Flying in just under the cutoff, my #50PreciousWords entry, Pelican Plunge, was inspired from this beach scene I captured last weekend.

Troll is such a fun and heartwarming read. The impeccable word choice, the rhyme, the illustrations, the oh-so-important message… perfection!
Newly discovered faves from my lastest #kidlit library haul… 📚
