When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers. Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy. Free play is a key to happiness and growth.
So excited that Let’s Go Tilly! Let’s Go Molly! made Amazon’s #1 New Release in Children’s Books on Sounds! I’m so happy that this book has been recognized for encouraging verbal development!📚🐾 #childrensbooks #childrensbookauthor #author #book #teachers #homeschooling #read

@elonmusk Just wait until Letitia James (or any other corrupt D.A./A.G.) determines that giving Trump his Twitter account back is a campaign contribution of value and fines you $500,000,000 + daily interest at 9%. 😂
@elonmusk Just to be super clear, you shouldn't feel the need to say this, it's your money and your life. The fact that one side of the aisle seemingly has the power to punish people for exercising their liberty, is the scariest thing happening in the world right now.
@elonmusk Can you donate money to me so I can buy chick fil a for lunch today?

Pitching to big pubs is really tough, especially after the significant layoffs in the publishing industry. You have to be persistent & shake off the inevitable silence & nos you get when sending out your work. Be bold, be authentic, be kind. But most importantly, keep going! :)…
