Check out the new episode of #WhyWeWrite podcast. Gina and I nerd out about language, and talk about making mistakes, embracing imperfection, and writing in spite of it all. @charlesbridge creators.spotify.com/pod/sho…

(Still) on holiday. I hear it’s Monday and cold back in Virginia 🥶. Happy Snow Day to all who celebrate!

Saying goodbye to a year of blessings and pinch-me moments. Wishing you a happy end of the year and a 2025 full of joy and wonder. ✨

Last school visit of the year! Today, I had the honor to meet with 3rd through 5th graders at Leesylvania ES. They were wonderful and their questions were so insightful! I wish I could’ve stayed for another hour of just Q&A! #authorvisits #schoolvisits

🎁 ‘tis the season! If you are planning to give a copy of one of my books as a gift this holiday season, please reach out and let me know. I’d love to send you a signed bookplate, bookmarks, and stickers. @FreeSpiritBooks @charlesbridge #giftideasforkids #giftideasforreaders

What a joyous school visit! It was an honor to meet K-2nd graders at Marshall Rd ES last week. We had a blast and the kids had great questions. Thank you, Marshall Rd, for all that you do! @charlesbridgepublishing #authorvisit #schoolvisit
