Cheers to a playful, joyful, conversation-full morning at @LionsMouthBooks! Thanks for celebrating this book and this adventure with me ☺️

Don't forget to mark Sat, 4/12 from 11am to 12pm for a visit to @LionsMouthBooks! I'll be there with *All Subjects in Play* for fellow educators. (& the store has plenty of other coffee & reading delights for those not in educ who still want to come to say "hi," play, & enjoy ☺️)
