Yes, yes, yes! My three children love the junior ranger program and we are so grateful for our #nationalparks and park rangers. ❤️ Let’s support them!
Our national parks and park rangers need our support more than ever! Teach kids about the importance of trees that live in our national parks in the new book I illustrated More Trees, Please! Written by Alastair Heim the book follows a young park ranger as she explores trees big and small. #kidlit

One of the most rewarding things about teaching kindergarten is helping children learn to read. It is this time of the year when the magic happens and all of their hard work comes to fruition! 🌟 🥳

Parents & educators if you're looking for a book to help kids (& adults) process what's happening with the #wildfires in California I hope you'll pick up a copy of FIRE ESCAPE. This book is full of photos & drawings to help readers connect w/the text & covers way more than just animals.

#kidlit
For older readers, the middle grade FIRE ESCAPE by @jstremer.bsky.social is fascinating and informative, especially for kids worried about wildlife too.
