If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.

Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!

I had a super fun time at Printer’s Row Lit Fest this past weekend with my book Meet the Trees and glitter leaf stickers! Fun to see so many writers and readers. #kidlit #prlf

See you at Printer’s Row this weekend? I’ll be there with Off Campus Writers’ Workshop and Orange Hat Publishing! Lots of fun in “magical book land” as it was described on the radio!

I don’t have one fave STEAM PB because I don’t like to play favorites, but that’s on the list!

Talking with Emily Atkin @emorwee.bsky.social is tonic--she's the embodiment of the fighting journalist, and it's an honor to be her colleague

"It's really beautiful to imagine relying on a power source that you can't hoard."

If you feel yourself slipping into climate doomerism like I have lately, I implore you to read/listen to this convo with @billmckibben.bsky.social. It genuinely helped me see a path forward

Where does the climate movement go from here?

In the face of Trump's climate assault, Bill McKibben proposes a sun-soaked path forward.

I loved the rhyme and the highlight on the Sundarbans, one of the world’s most important and threatened mangrove sites!
