Totally. I have friends who do this and keep their tree up until Valentine’s Day, and I love that for them! ☺️

Audrey Perrott (she/her) @audreysbooks.bsky.social · 3d

To be honest, it varies year to year, but generally, I tend to put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I give myself permission to do whatever feels right, depending on the year and circumstances. The earliest I’ve started decorating was the week before Thanksgiving.

Totally surreal, Kathleen. I can’t wait for more kiddos to meet Milton and Wanda, laugh while crying, and learn that tears are not only okay but a sign of strength and beauty. 🥹

Audrey Perrott (she/her) @audreysbooks.bsky.social · Sep 30

I’m so grateful our sweet Milton will get to “meet” so many kiddos this way 🥹 Bring on the tears and the library joy!

It’s the news we all needed, and I can’t believe our sweet bull Milton gets to be a part of it 😭

Absolutely weeping with joy to have mine and Ross’s book MOO HOO as part of the reboot of my favorite childhood show, the one that fosters my love of reading and writing. 😭😭😭 And with @mychal3ts.bsky.social as host?? Pinch me. (But don’t because I don’t wanna wake up.)

I actually really like snakes, even used to catch the non-venomous ones with my bare hands when I was a kid. 😅 I'm more ANTI-ANOTHER-PET-I-HAVE-TO-TAKE-CARE-OF

Wallace and Poppy disagree on almost everything. Even still, they are the best of pals whose hilarious fun-filled shenanigans will leave readers turning page after page in each of their three silly, snarky, and sweet friendship stories. #KidLit

To celebrate I am sharing a little abridged gif-
