Yesterday I attended @kellyyanghk Finally Seen book presentation in Los Altos. As I’m having a book signed for Oak School, I thanked her for the book dedication to librarians and told her I felt Finally Seen! She gave me a big hug! Thanks Kelly! I really needed that!

This week! Hicklebee’s co-owner Valerie Lewis will be giving the scoop on dozens of new children’s titles coming out this fall (PreK-8th grade). Tickets available thru Eventbrite. This is an event for adults 📚

This week our students will have their 40th day of school, a great chance to appreciate another big “40“ event. 40 years ago, @lasdk8 parents created LAEF to "contribute directly to their child’s welfare” and “keep our schools strong”. Learn more at LAEFonline.org

Let’s do it! #6 and last of the day! @kattell @lasdk8

It’s Fall Preview time with Valerie Lewis! Click the link for more info hicklebees.com/event/fall-pre…

Oak is watching Steph Curry livestream via Flip about his new book, I Have a Superpower. It was very inspiring! ⁦@CeliaForrest1⁩ ⁦@OakPrincipal⁩

An email I got from a teacher: I have a student, a young girl who has had a hard start to life.  For 15 minutes a day when we read FRONT DESK my student is transported to a place where she just might make it, because Mia did.  🥺🥺🥺

Thanks ⁦@Hicklebees⁩ for a fantastic educator night! Oak Avenue teachers had so much fun! ⁦@CeliaForrest1⁩

Librarians are superheroes. Thank you @HamiltonEastPL for making this incredible display of FRONT DESK—I am speechless with gratitude! Thank you for going above and beyond to make kids feel seen. 🥺📚❤️#FrontDeskSeries #FinallySeen

Every time I look at this photo of the K-12 Library Team, I smile! All school districts should have full-time librarians in their schools. @aasl & @PSLA_News, you have impacted our learning and actions in the daily work we do. Thank you!

Our first day in the Oak Library was not ideal with the power out, but we made it work. ⁦@CeliaForrest1⁩ ⁦@OakPrincipal⁩

Thanks for investing in Strong Schools and a Strong Community for over 40 years by donating to @LAEFOnline, @MVLAFoundation, and @MVEdFound. Parents created each foundation so they could contribute directly to their child's education and you can still do that today!👍@lasdk8

Yesterday I was the first author to visit a school and a kid said to me, “This is the best day of my life” 🥹🥹🥹 #KeyPlayerTour #DayThree #FrontDeskSeries #NorthCarolina @CountryBooks @LocalFirstBank
