Dad, even tho I created her, Ellie May looks like she could be your granddaughter and my son's sister. You were apparently destined to look like Ellie May's dad as well. This helps w/ missing you a little less. Excited for Ellie May's book birthday 12/18/18 #mglit #chapterbooks

Hey, lovelies. I'm doing a thing in April with @SCBWI_MD_DE_WV that I think A LOT of us in publishing need. I hope you'll consider joining us!

We received 1094 #PBParty entries this year. 139 of them are from author/illustrators. I'm taking a quick break--and then I can't wait to dig into the entries. Wahooooooo! Good luck, everyone. :)

This looks amazing!

Today on the @MixedUpFiles blog, I share my thoughts on being an only child, plus a curated list of MG novels about -- you guessed -- only children! #kidlit fromthemixedupfiles.com/not-always-the…
