Had a fantastic time at the #NCTE24 conference! On my panel, I discussed free verse poetry and teaching students how to write it to help them talk about important nature-related topics. Thanks to @WebofLifeBooks, I was also able to give away previews of my picture book, Mud to the Rescue! 📚🐘 #kidlit
