#CoverReveal for JINX! - written by me & illustrated by @apfelhase releases on May 6th 2025 with @reycraftbooks JINX! is designed to bring giggles, yelps, and yowls, as the book challenges you, the reader, to a game, resulting in a jinx forbidding you to talk, unless...🫢😅 #picturebooks #kidlit

A Blue whale fall can feed sea creatures for a century. From zombie worms to sea pigs, whale falls can feed nature’s cleanup crews far down the ocean deep. This book is a beautifully illustrated way to teach children about oceanic ecosystems. It’s World Whale Day #scicomm #naturewriting #kidlit

When I was given this advanced copy, I realized why I enjoy reading so much. A beautiful, lyrical book that is as fun to read as it is heartwarming. Characters find joy in the types of books they read along with where and when they decide to open a book. A celebration of the written word!

Recently read The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld. A sweet and insightful picture book about the many ways we try to comfort someone after a loss. I loved the message about the importance of listening and just being present. Doerrfeld’s illustrations are adorable, as always. 💙📚👍🏼 #KidLit

✨A STARRED REVIEW FROM KIRKUS! ✨ I’m so delighted to share that No Purchase Necessary has gotten a starred review from Kirkus!!! What’s a starred review, you ask? It’s Kirkus’s way of signaling a book they consider truly special—and it’s only assigned to about 10% of the books they review.

Why read books? Because reading opens minds & hearts. It helps us imagine different lives and different worlds; it can help us build a better world. So please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important. #literacy #books #reading
