It was exciting to see the frenzied bidding at the end of the auction, but we know it left a lot of people disappointed they were outbid.

But you can still turn the disappointment of not getting the item you wanted into a rushing glow of endorphins by helping those devastated by the wildfires...🧵

This is the best! ❤️

Let's all help Rohan (13) help other kids in LA rebuild their home libraries.

Escaping into a book is especially important to children recovering from trauma. AND kids like Rohan need to see that their dreams of making the world better can come true, so they keep trying.
If you’re looking for another way to help those impacted by the wildfires, you can donate books to bring a bit of comfort to kids who have lost everything.

All the info is at the website: sites.google.com/view/reading...

And you can follow the project on IG at @readingamongruins.

My items still have low bids, so Kenzi has a solution! For every $25 my two items earn, she has given her approval to share a video of her in costume. I have a treasure trove of Kenzi costume pics I've been saving for a rainy day & the storm has arrived! #kidlit
