Gotta love when bots email to tell you how poorly you’re marketing your book… So anyway, this is my new book about grief, illustrated by @JennicaDraws. ⭐️ reviews from Kirkus, SLJ and Foreword. The bots say I’m dropping the ball on telling people that. 🚀https://t.co/leXLL4Lxep

@MarkieLeeHayes @BrittanyPomales @RateYourStory Thanks for the tag and including T. Rexes in your blog Brittany! I fully admit to having an alliteration problem...

Abigail had a dark cloud
One day, it just appeared

The opening lines of DARK CLOUD, by me and @PennyNevilleLee, on the moment depression finds Abigail. Oct 10th is World Mental Health Day, the perfect day to make sure kids can see themselves in the books they read.

It's #HolidayBookDriveChi ... year EIGHT! We'd love if you could be a part of the project that's delivered more than 5,000 books to young #Chicago scholars served by Leading with Literacy. For details on how to donate books, DM or visit this year's post! https://t.co/2t1HKMhTHS

@AllyMalinenko That's ridiculous. I was similarly told that Dark Cloud, my picture book about childhood depression, wasn't needed because that person was never sad as a child.

[Anna Lazowski @anna_lazowski]

Well @devpetty looks like we need a followup with a mini poodle and a wasp. DON'T EAT BEES wasn't specific enough apparently.
