Yes!!💕 @scholasticteachers ・・・ Every minute that kids spend reading outside of school matters 📖

💖📚

Thank you! @bamportland ・・・ This poignant and heartfelt story is told from the point of view of a girl with cerebral palsy. In a wheelchair and using a computer to speak, she makes herself heard. Plus, there are two sequels after this book!

Thankful for the amazing women in my life — those who came before me, those walking beside me, and those who will carry our story forward. Happy International Women’s Day. 💖

So true!! 📚✨ @teachergoals ・・・ Reading counts. 📚

Excited to join these incredible authors and illustrators for a free, virtual conversation about hope, resilience, and what it means to rise, resist, and raise our voices right now. I hope you’ll join us on March 10th at 11:00 am ET! Register to join us pen.org/event/we-rise-….

This is my daughter and my grandmother. Black history lives on through family, through strength, love, and the legacy passed down from one generation to the next.

It sounds simple, but it’s powerful. Make space for what inspires you. The gifts you’ve been given are meant to be used. Life is short. Don’t wait. 🦋✨

One of the greatest joys of my life is hearing from students who tell me they’ve never finished a book before, but they finished mine in one night. And then they ask, “Do you have another one?” That is the best feeling!! 📚💖

Marcia Marshall, my very first editor. 💛 She said yes to Tears of a Tiger after 24 other publishers said no. She took me to my first Newbery dinner & showed me how to dream bigger. Thank you always, Marcia, for believing in me and helping me become the writer I am today.

A good reminder! 💖

100 years. A century of stories, wisdom, and love poured into generations. Thankful beyond words for my mother and her incredible life. Happy 100th Birthday! 💖

A good reminder. Dreams don’t have an age limit!✨

I love to see everyone’s favorite reads from last year and books they want to read this year! And it makes my day when you share one of my books and tag me!! 💕
