Happy #InternationalDayforBiologicalDiversity! My upcoming #MGLit novel (that I can't shout about quite yet...) features this important topic of protecting species diversity and balanced ecosystems. 💚

My family really enjoyed WHO OWNS THE MOON? by @cylev.bsky.social & Jennifer Swanson. Lots of intriguing questions posed here alongside a great history of space exploration! Loved the plants on the ISS. 💚 But eek, humans have littered so much in space. 😬 Fabulous art by Thomas Gonzalez.

Now playing Chicago, IL; Ithaca, NY; Eugene, OR; Lancaster, PA; Austin, TX & Vancouver+ lots of additional screenings throughout North America! Our theatrical tour continues to expand, so see Kim A. Snyder’s award-winning documentary in a theater near you!

Just finished THE BURNING SEASON, a #MGLit novel in verse by Caroline Starr Rose. Such an engaging story and a fascinating glimpse into the lives of fire lookouts! Gorgeous cover art by David Dean.

I love MILLIE FLEUR SAVES THE NIGHT by @christymandin.bsky.social. I've always been uneasy in darkness, so Millie is an inspiration. Fabulous back matter. One of my kids wants to go for a Halloween night walk in the woods, so I'll have to channel my inner Millie!

Loved THE UNEXPECTED LIVES OF ORDINARY GIRLS by @jandersoncoats.bsky.social! 👏 This engaging and nuanced story discusses education, immigration, religion, family, equal rights, and libraries💛. Set in 1910. Relevant now. Lovely cover by Margarita Kukhtina. #girlpower #MGLit #kidlit 📚👍
