Hi friends! For book readings and a craft at a local bookstore, how much time did you get for your craft? Do kids work on their own or do parents participate?(I'm definitely planning on being hands-on, but wondered about choosing the right craft)⭐

Excited to be presenting with these amazing writers about Kindness 🩷

I'm so excited for this book!!!!!💚💚💚 Congratulations to @natashazimmers.bsky.social and @jaimieillustrates.bsky.social

Happy Book Birthday to Tiny Hiker, written by me illustrated by @jaimieillustrates.bsky.social and published by Orca Book Publishing. It takes a team to make a beautiful book and our team was the best! ❤️

🍀Good luck #PBParty if you entered! I'm not sure if I'll be able to post teasers while judging next, and I don't see a @bsky.app poll option, so...: *If you're interested in #PBParty teasers, like/repost this post ❤️🔄 *If not, do nothing. *Comment if you want. Then I'll see what to do. Thank you!

Thank you SLJ!! 🩵 My hope is for this book to help children when a friend moves away, and give their guardians tools to help them stay connected. Thank you to @adamwalkerparker for bringing this story to life!
