Happy 1st bday to THE BACKYARD SECRETS OF DANNY WEXLER.. Real talk I wish we didn’t need to have: antisemitism is rampant. If you’re looking for an MG book that tackles this subject in a thoughtful way, wrapped inside a fun mystery, pls consider picking up a copy for your child.

I just want to make a few things clear:

The Holocaust happened.

Hitler was a demonic figure.

And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.

Silence is complicity.

Happy December! We’ve officially entered the season where my to-do lists have their own lists.
