@MissKaryReads @DPS109 Tournament of Books? How wonderful!

[Dianna Hutts Aston @DHAston]

@ChelsiHenry @Boyer_Elem_PISD @PISD_Libraries And thank YOU and the PTO! Bringing in authors -- and others who will offer their knowledge of something else (like wildlife) -- is a worthy use of funds.

Souvenirs from presentations -- I love the bonuses of being a children's author! David even invited me to go with him and his family to the Dallas butterfly garden, if I would give him my cell # so his mom could text me

Talking with kids about books and nature is a fun and rewarding part of publishing. Hearing their comments and questions is the bonus. From a second grade boy yesterday following, "A beetle is tasty" (A BEETLE IS SHY, illustrated by Sylvia Long). "I'd eat a bug. And a spider."

@bookbarktx Hi, Melissa! I wonder about her last name. There are so few Huttses. It looks like y'all had a great night! My best to your wonderful family. See y'all soon, I hope!

One of the perks of visiting schools in person is having the super pleasure of snuggling with the library's well-fed beardie, Zook.

Preview for MERMAIDS SONG TOTHE SEA '24:
In coral reefs, where sea friends play,
sit three mermaids on a rock in the bay...
who sing to the sea all night, all day.
“Bless clams in their beds
and lobsters in pods.
Bless sharks in their shivers,
and squids in their squads."

@DeniseLit4Kids Wonderful! And what a great atmosphere to work in. I write science/nature books for children. It would be a pleasure to zoom with little ones any time.🙂

Having driven hundreds of thousands of miles through the U.S. and Mexico, I know it truly is the company, whether a friend or my bestie, me. :-)

@MrsW_4Bryant @DAnneMosby @PISDBryantElem I have so enjoyed visiting Prosper schools. Each librarian has been welcoming and had prepped the students. Thankful to be active IN schools again!

Favorite comment from a kindergartener at a presentation:
"You must weally like in sex."
"Pardon me?"
"You must weally like in sex."
Look of utter confusion.
I said, "Pardon me" 3 times before his teacher laughingly translated. "Insects."
"Yes, I really like insects." #steam
