If I ever get a tattoo it will be from that book. I love the tiger at the end in the Hawaiian shirt having found a socially acceptable way to be himself. ❤️

Justice for Peter Brown! The Wild Robot is in the spotlight thanks to the movie but Mr Tiger Goes Wild is my all time favorite picture book.

It’s so baffling. I’m sharing from the post on Substack. I also can’t figure out Substack drafts. Maybe I just need to do it all on my computer (which, ugh)

Substack is awesome as a consumer and I’m finding it maddening as a creator. Does this link work? #substack

I’m experimenting with Substack. I think I’d like to slow down and write more, talk less. Follow there if so inclined ❤️

Wait is book 4 out? I have it on my calendar for June but I see it for sale but maybe that sketchy? Don’t want to give money to bad actors!

This is what the living room of a reading family looks like. Always with the books, magazines, comics, comfort objects to fidget with while reading. It’s the best kind of mess 🥰 (@louiestowell.bsky.social my 8 and 10 year old boys are re-reading Loki for the 10th(?) time! Eager for book 4!)

Coffee table covered in books, magazines, and toys.

I loved this book as a child but it wasn’t until reading it aloud to my kids within the last couple of years that I understood how deeply funny it is. True of so many of my childhood favorites!

Is there a #catsky? #catsofbluesky? #catpeople? It’s time for my family to get a pet and I want a bonded pair of kitties. Please talk to me about advancements in litter since I last had a furry friend (gasp!) 13 years ago. Litter robot? Fancy litter? Litter on my feet is my worst sensory nightmare.

Good idea to know the right of those more vulnerable than you, too. I’m not personally threatened by most of the awful stuff coming out way but I fully intend to be prepared to stand up for those who are.

Oh 100. If a horse can carry 20% of its body weight let’s assume the same of dragons and they’re *huge* so I think we’re good. 🤠
