The good thing about being totally jet-lagged is that I was up in plenty of time to prep for my 7:00am virtual school visit this morning. Plenty = 5 hours 😂😅

We need a sump pump installed ASAP. Ask me how I know. (No, don’t. I’m busy using the shop vac. Again.) 😭🌊

Can't wait!

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/

Okay, I’m finally back on here after a long hiatus. Thanks to everyone who followed me and I hope to get caught up soon!

Just finished reading this gem of a book. A group of kids who think they are all the same because of a shared culture learn they all have their own unique experiences that should be respected. Seems like a message the adults of the world could use right about now.

It's SUMMER AT SQUEE's book birthday! I'm so excited to share this MG with readers! Get ready for summer camp hijinks & heartfelt convos with Phoenny & her Squad! Huge thanks to Joanna Cárdenas, Kokila Books, PRH, and @agentemurph.bsky.social for believing in this book. Launch event info below! 🎉

Hooray! LULI AND THE LANGUAGE OF TEA by me and @yumhyewon has been nominated for the California Young Reader Medal! This nomination means a lot to me because young readers help recommend their favorite books. 🧵

Save the date! I have two launch events planned for SUMMER AT SQUEE – one in person and one virtual. 🧵 #MGlit #SummerAtSquee #booklaunch

I can’t believe that my second MG novel releases in just over a month, on March 5th! Order your copy of SUMMER AT SQUEE by March 3 to get a bookmark, signed bookplate, and sticker with images from the book’s gorgeous cover, illustrated by the amazing @karynslee!
