What a great bookish weekend at the LA Times Festival of Books and visiting my favorite indie bookstore, Sunny’s Bookshop! Book people are the best people. 💗

Today’s the day! I’ve launched my blog w/ an interview of @booksbycindy.bsky.social! Come visit for an insightful chat about her book #IfABumblebeeLandsOnYourToe illustrated by Vikki Zhang, releasing May 20, her work as a nature educator, and a giveaway! 🐝🌼 www.staceybennettramirez.com/blog

When you and your sister just GET each other. I texted her about my afternoon, which includes visiting my mom and a bunch of errands. Her reply: 😁

I’m excited to be part of your launch, Stacey! 🐝 📚

Happy 🌎 Day! This morning I’m having fun working on my new blog, which l’ll be launching on Friday with an interview of author @booksbycindy.bsky.social, whose book, illustrated by Vikki Zhang, will be released on May 20! Come back on Friday for a link to the interview and a giveaway! 🐝🌼 #kidlit

‘Nuff said. 🥰

Great opportunity!

What a beautiful book. Gentle, lyrical, each word perfectly chosen, and gorgeously illustrated. Oh how I would love to write a book like this. 😍

My lovely weekend included long walks around my daughter’s neighborhood. So many beauties to photograph!

We’re visiting our daughter for the weekend, and this is the inside of my my backpack. There is NO WAY I’m reading all of this in two days. Seriously—I’ve got a problem (and it’s a heavy one. Ow, my back).

The curves and folds of the hills are blanketed in green. We get to enjoy this for only a short time, and it’s glorious!

Happy National Library Week!

When you get to meet your agent sibling in person! @christinealemshah.bsky.social is as lovely in person as she is in writing! ❤️

Library day! Here are a few of the gems I checked out today. 😍📚

We had family dinner at the marina to celebrate our son’s 25th bday. TBH, the food and service were pretty awful 😂, but the company and views were spectacular!

As a Jewish person, I want to say that detaining people because of their political beliefs is NOT “fighting anti-semitism.” Full stop.

Hi #kidlit community! 27% of US kids are Latinx, but only 9% of books have #Latinx characters (and even less have Latinx creators). @latinxkidlitbf.bsky.social needs our help to keep making a difference in the lives of young Latinx readers. form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/latinx-...
