Happy #InternationalDayforBiologicalDiversity! My upcoming #MGLit novel (that I can't shout about quite yet...) features this important topic of protecting species diversity and balanced ecosystems. 💚

Thanks, Jo! I'm never ready for fall, but fall at the beach isn't so bad. 😆

They had more pressing concerns than posing for a picture all together, but I counted seven monarchs! I've never had so many in my garden at once. Moments of hope. 💚 #nativeplants

⭐ SKY LUCK by @ericaleewrites.bsky.social is a beautiful way to encourage appreciation for all of nature's wonders above us. Lovely language, great back matter, and gorgeous illustrations by @dagmarsmith.bsky.social. Published by @bluedotkidspress.bsky.social. ⭐

📚👍 #kidlit
cover of SKY LUCK shows a child reaching up toward a sparkling light in the sky; white clouds fill most of the cover with blue sky and stars at the top and green grass, plants, and flowers at the bottom; the book is in my hand with blue sky and white clouds at the top of the photo and purple, pink, white, and yellow flowers in the middle and bottom of the background
