I memorized the poetry, so lines come back to me all the time. I love when that happens. #kidlitchat

Happy #InternationalDotDay! It was especially wonderful to spend it with dear friend @kathleenmcclaskey.bsky.social in Dedham Massachusetts at @peterhreynolds.bsky.social Blue Bunny Books and Toys. Parents and children flocked to the Reynolds Center for activities & an indie author fest.

I always appreciate your help, Laura!! ❤️

Without his wife Sophie, Wilson Rawls wouldn't have pubbed WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. WOODY'S WORDS tells that story. What did you achieve b/c you asked for help? What if you didn't ask?
Thx @deborahkalb.bsky.social for hosting me!

Thanks for choosing WOODY'S WORDS to read with your precious pup! What a good, good boy to sit and wait for a story!

I wonder if Charlie would like to have a dog story written about him?!! 🐾
