My novel WILLODEEN is out in paperback today. 🌿✨

#Willodeen is about fighting for our beautiful planet. It’s about the ways we are all connected. And it’s about finding the bravery that lies within.

I can't wait for more people to read this story. 💜 https://t.co/0rijouD2DZ

To decarbonize homes, we need to install millions of heat pumps.

In 2023, heat pumps outsold gas furnaces for the second year in a row.

I spent the last month trying to understand why. Here's what I learned: https://t.co/EPgD8d5Lzt

Litigation that has powered through so many obstacles, for so long, that you can choose your format! Movie (Youth v. Gov) or book (The Twenty-One by Elizabeth Rusch). Thank you @youthvgov and plaintiffs for your efforts for all of us!

I cannot believe it’s been a year, but… this is the one-year book birthday of THE 9:09 PROJECT! Thanks to everyone who hosted me at their store or school or conference or library… and especially those who took the time to post a review—those are so helpful! 😊

Dementia is hard, in so many ways. @NPRGoatsandSoda brought that to the fore today, via Kenya.

The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones also relates, via fiction. Today chances to be its book birthday. @WendelinVanD

The Peach Rebellion and its quietly capable young people… I’d love to have met them decades ago. They continue to inspire. Go meet them if you missed them in 2022.

Thank you all for noticing this favorite!

The Peach Rebellion is one year old this week.
It defied review while becoming woven into my life.

First a review of this marvelous book.
Then reflections on it being woven in everywhere.

Once pie-worthy peaches were found, it inspired me to try pie and crust from scratch. But I am not a cook. (Yet!) Adventures and learning resulted. I was hunting for know-how once common.
