@beckijokidd @penguinkids They are!

@JEsbaum @penguinkids Horned toads were prevalent where I grew up. Such a fascinating creature. Almost like a minnie dinosaur 🦕.

For a unique experience of Van Gogh’s "Starry Night," try staring at the center of a spiral for 20 seconds then look at the painting. The effect is mesmerizing.

@stepha_henson NORMAL. I can read through a big stack at a library and only find 1-2 I'd want to read again. Makes me sad, and I can't help but wonder WHY this one? Especially when a book is clearly written for adults or older kids -- who rarely look at pbs.

As a kidlit writer, I read a lot of picture books. This is going to sound bad but, you ever come across one that you just don’t “get”? Like what made that stand out to an Editor? Would it really appeal to a child? Like, how? Is this normal or am I awful? I don’t mean to be! 😕

@LouiseMAamodt Awwww, so sweet!

I got the BEST feeling today when a #teacher told me that her kindergartners, after my visit, were telling each other they want to be #authors when they grow up. 💜 ✍️ 📚 😊
