My amazing agent, @SheilaFernley, shared at 7 AM, so I’m sharing at 7 PM. I drafted my 1st picture book in Feb of 2021. Now, in Jan of 2025, I’ve signed with @StormLiterary. These last 4 years involved a lot of writing, revising, and querying. Can’t wait for what’s next! #kidlit

My picture book, ONE CAN BE, shares the joy of @LtlFreeLibrary boxes.

To celebrate the book’s release, author friends from all 50 states will add a copy to a LFL near them, and I’ll share the photos.

The state parade starts in Madison, Wisconsin at a LFL on East Mifflin Street. It’s overseen by @joshuafeyen, who writes blogs, essays and memoir and has had a tiny love story published in the @nytimes. Find him on Substack at https://t.co/Phggxe7ZNf

Fun fact: Visitors can help themselves to homegrown tomatoes as well as books.

That’s one state down and 49 to come. Follow along as ONE CAN BE makes its way across America.

And, if you want to add a copy to a LFL near you, I’d be thrilled.

For college instructors, here’s a video that focuses on a course design approach that front loads lesson planning before the semester, so that teaching is much less time consuming once the term begins. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter

Let me know if you're interested.
