Happy Arbor Day! This recent book of mine culminates in an Arbor Day school assembly, fitting for a story that stars an heirloom apple tree, lone survivor of a vanished orchard, and the secrets concealed in its bark and branches.
Emily Pérez's poem featured at the top of this essay by Devin Kelly is a doozy. (as is the essay) Definitely a poem I needed to read this week. Oof.

So happy to share my sister's again (she's brilliant): rattle.com "Even So" by Michelle Visser (selected for online publication by the poetry journal Rattle and posted on 3/27/25).
Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

In an effort to share helpful tools for panic attacks etc, here's one to try if you or someone you know needs help finding a moment of calm. The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique: Find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.
If you're a published author or illustrator (indie or trad, short stories & anthologies also count!), PLEASE join me as a member of Authors Against Book Bans. I'm the Colorado state co-leade, and we've already got stuff cooking to support a new bill protecting school libraries from book-banning.
