When @hanhbuiwrites.bsky.social
put ONE CAN BE in a Virginia @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, she said:
“A dad was there with his daughters. The girls couldn’t wait for me to take the photo so they could have the book. The dad said when they were done, they’d bring it back for more kids to enjoy.”

He’s the author of several wonderful picture books with more on the way. And, because I appreciate him so much, I’ll refrain from mentioning that the University of Wisconsin-Madison football team beat University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign last night. 4/4

Malcolm and I first met at an Andersons Bookshop
Children’s Literature Breakfast when we signed books next to each other and took a selfie that, sadly, cut off part of his face.

When I asked @joknowles.bsky.social to put ONE CAN BE in a Vermont @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social
to get a copy in a LFL in each state, she said, “Hell, yeah! I’d love to do this! Yay!”
Go, Jo!
This our 25th state. We’re halfway done. Go, us!

Janet believes all stories should bring joy. And that sharing stories spreads joy. She also sent me a picture of nearby kids enjoying books from her new LFL including ONE CAN BE.
Janet not only writes books for kids, but also leads classes to help others do the same. 2/2

Wow! Janet Fox not only added my book ONE CAN BE to a @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, she added it to a LFL she built in her Montana yard after I asked her about my book. That's dedication. 1/2

Jenn’s books have received the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Schneider Family Honor, the Schneider Family Award, and the Theodore Geisel Honor.
She’s also parachuted off a mountain. (Yes, really.) And rafted an underground river to see the famous glow worms of New Zealand.

My book -- ONE CAN BE -- is now at my local library. Thanks to the foundation board for ushering it into the building.
If you live elsewhere, your library may have the book. If not, they can order it for you or request it through interlibrary loan.

Sometimes, being alone is where imagination begins. ONE CAN BE reminds readers it’s OK to be by themselves. Because even when they’re one, they’re part of something more. A comforting read for quiet dreamers who find magic in their own company. tinyurl.com/2fe7nks2
