A bumbling bear
faces a big decision
when he comes across a defenseless fawn
at lunchtime.
He must decide whether to eat the fawn

or help her.

The other animals are not making his decision any easier.

It’s time to eat!

Andrew thinks he needs the new Dino-Blaster but his mom says no. Does she want him to get eaten? Facing the biggest t-rex their imaginations can muster, Andrew and Joey find that success doesn’t come from a toy, but through teamwork, friendship, and imagination.

When it’s time for Amalia’s grandmother to go to her forever resting place, Amalia chooses a green space for the willow tree that will rest with her, grow and mark her grandmother’s place. And Amalia finds even when we’re gone, we’re never really gone. #PitMad #STEM #PB

The best of luck if you’re participating in #pitmad today. The world needs your story. Your characters need you to tell it. Your contract is standing—the writing universe is holding you to your commitment. Discover your place in it—it’s big enough for all of us.

@BookEndsJessica I thought with the quarantine I would get so much writing done, but sadly it was just the opposite. I am trying very hard to get my mind back into the groove it was in prior to all this coming down. Anyone else feel this way??

[Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica]

Given the state of the world, I'm not surprised, but my queries have dropped dramatically in June. Know that publishing is still happening, we are still looking for clients, and we are definitely selling books.

How am I just finding out about this now?

[Maria Miley @MariaMiley10]

My husband, son and brother-in-law all work in Port Elizabeth in New Jersey. They are longshoreman with ILA 1804-1. The country needs supplies... Somebody has to get the cargo off the ships for it to be delivered wherever it's got to go! #ILA #EssentialWorkers #COVID19Pandemic

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

A huge shout-out to the men and women of @ILAUnion who have been on-the-job at our ports throughout this emergency.

So much what we need, whether it be medical supplies or groceries, wouldn’t get to us if it wasn’t for them. #NJThanksYou

[Maria Miley @MariaMiley10]

A great article by Pam Brunskill on pacing your story & laying it out as a book using a mentor text. Another great way to see how your PB flows. I will have to try this also. @MarcieFAtkins #12x12PB #kidlit #PBchat #beginnerwriter #newwriter #scbwi https://t.co/L3EVvXmFgi

[Maria Miley @MariaMiley10]

@BGOwriter Me too and I'm working on one of them as we speak! Yay us!!

[Maria Miley @MariaMiley10]

This made me happy. I don't know why. As a new SCBWI member, I haven't even had a chance to go to a single meeting or anything yet. #scbwi #PBchat #kidlit #newwriter #bbeginnerwriter #12x12PB #InThisTogether https://t.co/aAM0oQvwCz
