My brand new chapter book series WILDLIFE RESCUE is out today, and I can't imagine a better way to celebrate this book birthday than spending it with these great South Carolina readers! (Amazing cover art is by Jen Bricking!)

Hi, friends...I need your sleuthing help! I have been trying to track down a creepy/surreal children's book that I loved as a kid, but can't recall the title. It would be PERFECT for this time of year. All my searching efforts have been futile, but maybe you can help. I'll describe it below!

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
Thanks!! 🌈 Your piece makes me happy!
My kid is doing cross country, which means I am spending a lot of time in fields waiting for them to run by.

This time I brought my drawing pad…
