My heart is breaking for you, SoCal friends. I know so many kids will be out of school again this week due to the devastating wildfires, so I've pulled together a bunch of my virtual author visits & read-alouds. They'll be freely available for you all month. katemessner.com/read-alouds-...

Things have seemed pretty bleak lately but you know what feels good? Writing. I love writing. I have always loved writing. It's the best, and even on bad writing days it's better than not writing. Today was a good writing day.

Can’t wait to see this! I love Reggie Brown’s art, and I’ve been an admirer of Varian Johnson and his work for probably longer than either of us wants to admit.

I wrote an essay about my experience thus far with traumatic brain injury. It took a very long time to write, and required a lot of naps, but I'm pretty proud of it. I hope it might help someone else who is experiencing something similar. Here's a gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄
