Happy publication day to Pockets of Love! It’s illustrated by Sara Palacios, and written by me. All my books are very special, but I wrote this one during a difficult time in the world. We lost so many loved ones collectively, and in our family we lost 2 grandparents in the space of 5 months. With each loss, we grieved all our loved ones who had left us before. We always miss them, but never more than during happy moments (weddings, graduations, births and birthdays) and small, every day moments. My hope is that this book gives families the space and opportunity to remember their loved ones and perhaps have difficult conversations with the little kids in our lives, and also talk about the ways each family shows love and remembers, always, those who are too far away for a phone call or letter. Every culture has their pockets of love, a delicious finger food that reminds us of home and happy times. I’ll be making some empanadas today 💖🥟 Thank you to the whole @harperkids team, especially my editor @megilnit. Thanks @cwong333 for seeing the potential in this story, and @lindarandom19 for making all my dreams come true. And thank you, readers and friends for your love and support

I always complain about the medical service in the US, but today, for the first time in my life I met with a doctor who really listened and ordered a bunch of tests to figure out what I have. 2 hours after labs were done her office called me with partial results for my peace of mind. I’m really kind of emotional and wishing she could be my doctor for everything.

So incredibly proud of #GusWalz last night. He endured what must have been (almost) unendurable for him -- the noise, the lights, the chaos of that convention floor -- to be there for his dad. Thank you, Gus for showing us what brave is.

@mychal3ts @sljournal Seeing this cover in an enormous size at #ALA2024 was so exciting! I turned the corner on the conference floor and there it was, and for a split second I thought there YOU were and my heart was filled with joy! Congratulations!!!

Yup, still real. I won a Newbery Honor. Behold me hearing my name and then returning to my seat and sobbing hopelessly.

@MerriamWebster I would love "evermorrow" -- the day after tomorrow -- to come back. Think of how blissfully we could postpone things if only we brought back evermorrow.

What's an old-timey word that deserves a comeback? We're partial to 'jiminy.' (jiminy crickets, jiminy Christmas!)
