In #StellaandRogerCantWaittoGrowUp, Stella can’t wait to turn seven! She and her best friend, Roger, agree seven-year-olds get to have much more fun. But the more grown-up you are, the more you can do, so maybe Stella will skip seven altogether and go straight to eight years old! Out Tuesday, September 24th!

Thanks @playlogansquare for featuring "Stella Keeps the Sun Up" in your gorgeous window display! As a longtime fan & customer, seeing my own book there means the world to me. Swing by *play for the perfect kid's book or toy! And thanks to all of you supporting #stellaspotting! 🎉
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like some of these cards need a few extra words? "I KNOW I SHOULD" focus on... BUT sometimes it's hard.
Still, I like the message to focus on what you can change. Faith in yourself makes it easier to find solutions. Have a great week! 😊

I underestimated this #summerreading program. Both kids earn a pack of Pokémon for every 100 minutes read. Well let me tell you, the folks at Best Buy recognize me now & I'm thinking of changing the rules. On the bright side, the kids are enjoying themselves. 🌞📚 #parentingwin

Grateful for supportive family and friends, and those who've helped me as a children's book author. This affirmation from @intel_change says it all! I hope to be a light to them too. Thank you for believing in me! ❤️

I saw this shirt & had to pick it up. I call it my #affirmation shirt. 🙌🏽 Truth is, some days I feel braver than others, & others not so much. But it's a journey & more than anything, I want to always be able to say that I'm trying my best🌟 What affirmations do you find helpful?

🥰📖🙌🏽Grateful for the opportunity to do my last #schoolreading of the year w/ #NYPL at PS94 in the Bronx! Reading to budding authors & illustrators is truly one of the best parts of this journey. Thanks to @nypl & @NYPLEducators for making it happen! #kidlit#futurebestsellers
I'm feeling inspired by today's #affirmation card from @int_change! 🌟
Staying focused can be hard work for me sometimes, but I'm doing my best, which also means cutting myself a bit of slack.
Here's to trying to direct our energy toward the things that truly matter 💪🏽
