“I give myself permission to get lost in a flower, to be in awe that so much beauty and strength can exist in such a small, commonplace, and fragile thing.” – Mary Trollinger, a winner in our latest essay contest supported by the @Fred_Buechner Center christiancentury.org/readers…

“Draw Milan.”
Leonardo da Vinci's to-do list: Measure Milan, get a math master to reveal the secret of squaring a triangle, and quiz a Florentine merchant on the mysteries of Flemish ice walking. And that's only the beginning. Meanwhile, I'm over here googling how to fold a fitted sheet.

So grateful to students and staff who welcomed me to Breckinridge Elementary to discuss PERFECT TIMING and Isaac Murphy. The kids were engaged and well prepared. Thank you, everyone!

I may not know how to take a selfie, but Kentucky's students have sure tried hard to teach me.

When the day begins with a sprint to get a doggy urine sample, everything else will be easy. Done! Time to celebrate at the water bowl.

I caught a quick glance of a ‘sanitizing station’ in our public library and briefly panicked. Until I realized it was targeting germs on the outside of books - not content on the inside. Hurrah for every library that celebrates the freedom of reading!

Real talk, parents: the minute we start banning books, we’ve lost. How can our kids possibly look to us to be the source of courage if we’re afraid of children’s books? 😅 We need to be the person our kids can come and talk to about ANYTHING. #FinallySeen #OutIn7Days @SimonKIDS
