Can you BEE-lieve it? An interview highlighting THEY WORK over at Jonathan Roth's blog in his Getting to Know Kidlit Authors series. jonathan-roth.com/2025/02/15/g... 🐝 #WritingCommunity #kidlit #PB #Childrensbooks #Author #TheyWork @familiusbooks.bsky.social @yukari-mishima.bsky.social

Guy at work was describing something and said it had a "Wishbone" vibe. My book-nerd self instantly:

VAGUE PUBLISHING SKEET!

I bought half a dozen of these little hair picks... My husband just came out pretending to be Wolverine with them. Bless his heart! 🤣🤣🤣

Opinion Question: Do bookstores, teachers and librarians prefer receiving one page promo for books so they can learn about authors/illustrators books at a glance without having to read a whole in depth email? What is your favorite form of introduction to new works? #Bookstore #Teacher #Library

You never know who you'll meet at a public library! Secret Garden Birds and Bees brought some friends to teach about wildlife and rehabilitation at the Rust Library today along with picture book author June Smalls. (That's me!) #library #forthebirds #wildlife #kidlit #hawk #falcon #owl

Look at this tiny cuteness! I have a 3" hive to show readers when showing them THEY WORK: HONEY BEES, NATURE'S POLLINATORS. I love having fun visuals for visits and book signings. I haven't decided if I'll paint it or not. #kidlit #Reading #honeybee

This year I'll get to share amazing books. I'm so exited for spring, when I'll get to visit libraries and schools to talk about hard working pollinators. Then in July, lift-the-flap lovers will get to BE the paleontologists as they hunt for dino bones. #KidLit

It's the first day of a new year. A good time to check: 1. Smoke detection batteries 2. Any filters you forget about 3. Expiration dates on food and medicine.

Have you ever seen a black squirrel with a white tipped tail?!?! I thought it was a skunk at first glance. So cool! #wildlife #shineypokemon #realwildlife

Helped three folks find books they were looking for in the store this morning with ease.... I don't work at the bookstore. Some of us nerds just exude bookish vibes. 🤣
