Tomorrow! Now with a special guest--the tiny diva behind Hazel the Handful. :)

This Saturday in Mystic, CT! Come join Gaia Cornwall and me at Bank Square Books. 🎉

Lots of fun HAZEL THE HANDFUL events coming up with my talented friends #GaiaCornwall & @pamvau.bsky.social! Come hang out with us for storytimes, signings, activities, and treats. @anunlikelystory.bsky.social

What Margaret Mead failed to note: (1) change making is hard work, (2) no one person (or small group) can do this work alone very long, & (3) the effectiveness of your small group lies in connecting with a larger coalition of people who have done this work before and know what they are doing ⚓️🩷📚

Rhode Island #FreedomToRead has been passed by both chambers of the General Assembly and is on its way to the Governor’s desk for signing! Just in case you aren’t spending your Friday night glued to Capitol TV, here’s the moment:

From "Frank and Bean: The Musical" at the @wbur.org Festival in Beantown! The kids relished every minute. 🌭🥳 Thank you to WBUR and franks to AJ Freeman, Kristin Bair, and the incredibly talented cast for bringing this picnic food buddy comedy to life! (Note the Dunkin’.)

Tomorrow at Book Love Bookshop in Plymouth, MA! It's been fun bringing this little sidekick to event. She's quite the ham.

Thank you to @thebaymag.bsky.social for the lovely article about the Hazel the Handful book launch at @barringtonbooks! 💕🐶💕 With some RI recs for any of you who love toast & books: (Arc)hive Books & Snackery, Blue Kangaroo & Bywater Bakeshop.

Firing of librarians who promote freedom to read is a censorship tactic. Thank you Jon Scieszka,
Katherine Paterson, Kate DiCamillo, Gene Luen Yang, Jacqueline Woodson, Jason Reynolds & Meg Medina for making this statement in support of Dr Carla Hayden

Aww! 🥹

This SATURDAY, 10 AM, at @booklove_pinehills in Plymouth, MA—with special guest, Pep the dog! Come hang out with us for a cozy Hazel the Handful storytime & scavenger hunt!

Happy book bday! 👏

This Saturday, May 24, 10-2: stop by the Warwick Central Library and write a postcard in support of RI #FreedomToRead

Thanks for including Pep and Hazel! 🐶💕

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Happy book birthday, @senickel.bsky.social & #aimeesicero!

Save the date!

Thank you @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social for the special Hazel the Handful event! And thanks to the guest of honor, Brookline's own Pep the dog, who treated her fans to paw-tographs and participated in the Q & A.

Today! @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social

Today at Willett Free Library I will be discussing how we can make our state a #SafeHarbor for writers, illustrators and all book creators and curators! Hope to see some of you there today at 4 pm. @aabbri.bsky.social

Hazel may well be a handful, but this book is fun, funny and gorgeous! Way to go @jamiemichalak.bsky.social and @mattmyers.bsky.social!

Thank you so much, Boni! Totally made my day.

My dog, staring at me like she wants a divorce.
