Writing children’s books which promote empathy is my act of rebellion.

There are some people who use their fame and power to consolidate their position in the world. Then there are others who use it bring others up with them. @rickriordan.bsky.social is one of the latter, and I will always be grateful for him and for his incredible generosity. THANK YOU Rick!! #booksky
