Called @BalinBooks last week to order the first two books in the Meena series by @mskarlam for @viviankirkfield's #50PreciousWords literacy initiative. A chance to support #literacy #EpilepsyAwareness and a #Wisconsin author, all at once? I'll take it! ❤️📚

Just sold all my hair to buy a watch chain for my bf for Christmas. Can’t wait for him to open it! It’s going to be the best Christmas ever

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/
TEAM MEENA comes out in January, but these fifth graders were the first to read an early copy! They asked the best questions, too. My favorite: "How did you decide to use the rabbits as a metaphor in the story?" #KeepReading #KidLit!

Finalizing artwork for TEAM MEENA and am so grateful to be working with illustrator Mina Price! She brings such warmth and playfulness to Meena (yes, they share a name!), and I always love seeing her vision come to life. Check out her other work at shannonassociates.com/minapr…!
