Tonight's book rec: Scrap Metal Swan by Joanne Linden. I love books that use collage techniques, and I also love reading books on cleaning up the earth and making art. This has all of that! Wonderful book! #bookrecommendation #bookrec #picturebooks #kidlit #bookrec www.instagram.com/p/DGMnkT1RhE...

My novel in verse THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES doesn't come out until April, but today seems like a good day to share the book club recipe for "Cascade and Porter Cookies."

They're delicious even if you haven't read the book yet!

A gold, cream, and dark red patterned plate full of chocolate chip cookies that also have chocolate-covered orange rinds in them.

PDF with the title: A BOOK CLUB RECIPE FOR THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES. https://katemessner.com/the-trouble-with-heroes/

Small book cover alongside the recipe has a yellow title THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES against a blue sky with puffy white clouds. A middle school boy with an orange backpack stands on a mountain top with a Bernese mountain dog gazing up at him.

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar

1 stick of butter, softened
but not melted

1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips

Deleted my Facebook account today and close to deleting my Instagram account. Will need to start fresh here. In that case, below is SOME DAYS HE GROWLED, my most popular and needed book that serves as an intro to domestic violence. #books #domesticviolenceawareness #kidlit #picturebooks #kidfic
