A picture book spine poem for your Tuesday.

Dear diary,
I want to be the night gardener,
outside,
finding wild sidewalk flowers
stuck over and under the snow,
just because.

Not too active on this platform lately but I know most of my people here probably love reading like I do—so this one’s for you. 📚 https://t.co/m653SED1CE

Last week a cousin took this pic of me at my local bookstore with my book The Elephants’ Guide To Hide-and-Seek, which came out in Apr 2020. It occurred to me later that I probably hadn’t yet taken an unmasked happy pic of me in a bookstore with a book I wrote. Well, now I have.

Cats are the best at hide-and-seek even when they are not the best at hide-and-seek.

When you take your kid to browse at the public library for the first time in awhile and the first thing he does there is rush to find a book by his mama.
