I spoke at a school this week where 4 kids won a STEM contest w/ their idea for a kevlar backpack to save lives. Proud of them. Horrified by their felt need for this invention. Please sign: https://t.co/fOWUS74IZr via @Change#EnoughIsEnough#kidsoverguns#GunControlLawsNOW

@SPLBuzz@juliaskuo@LevineQuerido@littlebrown Thanks for this! It was a total honor to be in the room with the other well-deserved nominees. Beautiful and significant books all-around.
@KO2news@ScratchJr@DrydenSchool What a clever idea to have kids code a story! I love this. Thanks for how you’re bringing my book to life and making reading relevant and fun with your students!
