Come say hello and celebrate @SarahKapit's wonderful new MG book SECOND CHANCE SUMMER with us!

Beaker is cautiously intrigued by @TKDano's UNDER THE HENFLUENCE... No, I won't be bringing her to @ThirdPlaceBooks Lake Forest Park, WA for our conversation tonight, but come say hello anyway! thirdplacebooks.com/event/tove-dan… #SeattleChickens #BackyardChickens

Can't wait to talk chickens with @TKDano in Lake Forest Park, WA @ThirdPlaceBooks tonight! Come say hello!

Come talk chickens with us! Tove's book is adult nonfiction, but this event will be appropriate for chicken-loving kids, too!

Come say hello at the Children's Literature Festival at Truman State University in Missouri this Friday! Bring your questions, or let me know in the comments what you'd like to learn about my work and my writing life! childrensliteraturefestival.truman.edu #TruKidLitFest

@TKDano Yes we do!! 🐣🐔🐥

@TKDano @NPRShortWave @aaronscottNPR Emmylou = always the best! 😂

Just in case you could be "under the henfluence" too:

Really looking forward to discussing journalist @TKDano's new book Under the Henfluence with her Thurs. 4/27, 7 pm, @ThirdPlaceBooks Lake Forest Park! Tove's book is nonfiction for adults, but this event will be appropriate for chicken-loving kids too. thirdplacebooks.com/event/tove-dan…

Beaker would like you to know she does NOT like the rain. #BadHairDayChickenVersion #GoldenPolish #SeattleChickens

[Short video shows spot illustrations and covers by Katie Kath from the Unusual Chickens series written by Kelly Jones, plus kid fan art of Henrietta the grumpy telekinetic chicken. Video has no sound.]

Time to celebrate Katie Kath's amazing Unusual Chickens illustrations -- and a few of the kids she's inspired! (Henrietta fan art = THE BEST fan art!) Happy spring reading! #UnusualChickens

@foreverkneeld That makes me so happy! Enjoy your reread!

@curiosityjones i miss this book im about due for fourth reread

Feeling a little stabby this week? Or, just in the mood for a younger-YA historical fantasy novel with all the fashion and none of the kissing? Try Murder, Magic, and What We Wore! (cover art by the awesome Sarah Watts)

@eliza_lefebvre Aww, thank you!
