A 90 year old lady I look after with bad vision spent 3 months making this. She doesn't think it's good. I think it's amazing and full of character. Let's show her how good it is...
Still convinced that there are many amazing (and overlooked) stories in the U.S. and abroad that will astound and entertain us. Here’s to the search!

@JillPurtee @christiemath @HolidayHouseBks So agree!
Got my agent copy of Ollie, the Acorn, and the Mighty Idea words by @AndrewCHacket and art by @KWindness and published by @PageStreetKids Available April 9, 2024!
I helped this little buddy and about 15 of his friends safely cross the road to their vernal pools. Such a cool experience to witness their migration.
Thank you to @KirkusReviews for the starred review of I SEE COLOR, written by me and @valerie_bolling, illustrated by @ukelaylie and out from @HarperChildrens June 4th. Incredibly grateful for this book and everything it means to me. Cannot wait to get it out into the world!
NYC is so fortunate to have a treasure like @BooksofWonder! Aisles of kidlit books with wonderful book events like “March Picture Books to Treasure! I had the pleasure of reading and chatting about RHYTHM with a panel of talented creators and their books!
Lisa came back from pottery last night having made 2 mugs so I'm starting the day drinking coffee from one of them.
Ok needle felting friends! I made my first two projects and am officially obsessed. I know they’re not perfect, but I’m in love with these two little piggy-nosed kitties!

@JillPurtee Thank you, Jill!
I had no idea my daughter memorized this poem until she told me that she shared it at school yesterday for World Poetry Day. What a happy poetry moment! Tea with the Sea was originally published in the Spring 2021 issue of @thecaterpilla20. 🥰
Thanks for reading IT WILL BE OK Jill!
