I'm hitting the road and would love to see you. I'm visiting some of the best indie bookstores in the country and and appearing with an amazing roster of middle grade authors. (Seriously, check out the names.) If you're close by, please sign up and come down to see us. @SimonKIDS

@teachingmissk Feel better soon!

@teachingmissk You absolutely rock and shouldn't have to be doing this. Your MN school library family supports you!

@RepublicService After our every week yard waste has become every other week this summer without a refund for weeks missed, I come home to find that our bins have been dropped to block entry to the driveway and the driver ripped one of the yard waste bags spilling it!

THIS!

At least once a week, I/my artwork get tagged in a post about a parent, educator, or librarian who has encountered an adult who questions the legitimacy of graphic novels. I can’t believe it’s still a thing. The quality of the graphic novels being put out today is astounding. 1/3

@StudioJJK Thank you for giving us the absolute best costume idea for Dress Like a Book Character Day!

[Laura Gingras @lcgingras]

@StudioJJK It is Dress Like a Book Character Day at our school!

@kallschell @EdwardRose Nope! Water heaters can be turned up. In fact, you need to make sure they aren't set to scalding.

@ChildsLitEmily @CynLeitichSmith @debreese I was up until midnight last night finishing it, it was SO GOOD. Thank you @CynLeitichSmith for this amazing story.

One thing I personally haven't seen enough mention of in the conversation around #Freadom and the exponential rise in book #censorship across the country is the disproportionate affect these actions have on kids living in poverty. Kids from more affluent/ middle class families...

[Laura Gingras @lcgingras]

We all need this reminder.
