Very proud of this essay I wrote for PW, about living with long-haul Covid. I had a particularly low-energy day today, but seeing this (the first piece of real writing I've done since quarantine began) in "print" has really boosted my spirits. 🙂 https://t.co/qA9opTjqCd

Ms. Meucci's story about reading to her students after her brain surgery gets a segment on Inside Edition, and MR. WALKER STEPS OUT gets a brief cameo. :)

We are all so glad you're feeling better, KD Meucci!

@WaltAndAmy @aacpl I am terrible at Twitter, but I just saw this and am so happy to hear your daughter is devouring my books! Nom nom nom! :) Tell her happy reading from me!!

[Lisa Graff @lisagraff]

This is a really awesome story, about a 4th grade teacher who found a way to reassure her students after having brain surgery (!!), & I'm so honored my book and I got to be a small, surprising part of it.

So glad you're back at work, K.D.! :)

I had been scheduled to appear at the Plum Creek Literacy Festival next year, but after learning about the homophobic policies of the host University, I made the decision to drop out. I'm sorry to the readers I won't meet, but this feels like the right call.

Those of you coming to this thread for more information on why I and my fellow authors withdrew from the Plum Creek Literacy Festival: @SharynVane has provided the most thorough and deepest coverage so far. @BookPlusFilm https://t.co/ru5t5RDpsU
