Have been sitting on a Delta plane for three hours and we still haven’t taken off. No staff has offered food/drinks, (I’m in in Comfort+). I am generally happy w/Delta, and am in good spirits rn, but I feel like I would offer people who boarded at 4:30 am some snacks at least?

Was excited by this surprise package from Charlesbridge ! WHAT’S IN YOUR POCKET? is coming out in paperback soon!

My next picture book will be out on July 9! “A delightful tale of fostering connection through art.” - Kirkus Reviews Available for Preorder MacKids Books barnesandnoble #picturebooks #kitlit

This week I'd like to feature the work of Kim-Hoa Ung (Kim-Hoa Ung 黃金花), whose book A GIFT FOR NAI NAI won the 2024 Northern Lights Book Award for the Picture Book 4-8 Category. As you can see here, she is also a fabulously talented amigurumi artist. Follow her, I command it!😁

Five of my books have been AI scrubbed. It felt inevitable that this would happen, even though I've never given permission for anyone to steal my work and feed it into a bot. Sigh. 😔 theatlantic.com/technology/arc… #AuthorLife #GenerativeAI #ThisSucks

On Friday, March 14, the Trump administration issued an executive order that will cut vital funding to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). WNDB is alarmed at this attack on our libraries, which will affect millions of Americans who utilize library services. 🧵

Does anxiety keep anyone else awake at night? Dang, this world. This life sometimes. Where are my 2 am cannot-sleep people?

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 May the wind messing my hair, sun making me squint, and sand hugging my toes always be more important to me than a perfect selfie, likes, followers, or screen time. Celebrating nature in all its glory today, and every day. ♥️ #EarthDay2025 #EarthDay
