Every one of the 32 pages of a picture book is packed with years of hard work, support by loved ones, & collaboration with other professionals. I’m beyond excited to see my pages head out into the world, and can’t wait to see how @minitreehouse brings Grumble to life!

@vickyweberbooks Wowsers! Congrats!

@JThomasABC @LTPmag Ooof, I just missed it! With your wordsmithing capabilities and overall love for language, I’ll bet your workshop was divine! <3

@CoreyPBNinja @dsantat @penguinkids Aw! Yay! This was the story that made me say, “I want to do this!” And now I have a rhyming pb coming out in 2026 ❤️

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@MadnessPoetry @hethfeth Oh my gosh…I was wondering if you could/did track that. 🫣

I can’t wait to see what these wonderful poets bring to the match! It’s gonna be a good one!

@ljrwritenow @minitreehouse @MariaMarshall_ I know! I’m just the luckiest! ❤️

@SylviaiChen @minitreehouse Thanks! Congratulations to you on your upcoming projects, too! 😊

@toddbeeton @MadnessPoetry This was so beautiful. I don’t often gravitate towards “softer” poems, but this had me in the feels! ❤️

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@minitreehouse 🥰🥰🥰

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@cindygreene314 Thank you, Cindy! You are so kind! 🥰

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@TeresaTraver1 @minitreehouse It IS! The one you helped me think about fleshing out. ❤️❤️❤️

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@rhymeswithmessy Thank you! I still don’t know how I’ve been this consistent. Something is amiss in the universe. A good handful of them may be poems about not wanting to write or being tired, and several are about my cats…but they’re written! 😅

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@JThomasABC @MadnessPoetry Aw, thanks Jennifer! I’m so excited! The Madness community is so kind and supportive! Madness and the people partaking are among my favorite things!

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@SarahJWMeade @minitreehouse Thanks, Sarah! 🩷

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@LisaLSchmid @minitreehouse Thanks! I just preordered your book! I loved your other one. Why no one will pay me to just read middle-grade fiction all day long is a mystery, and downright offensive. Keeping me from living my best life. ❤️. Can’t wait to read it!

[Katrina Swenson @KS_scribbles]

@JThomasABC Congrats! It’s an honor to fall to such a phenomenal poem! ❤️

@JThomasABC I’m just being…wait for it…CANDID
