There's nothing more thrilling than inspiring kids to read, write, and create stories of their own! I've presented to thousands of kids in 2022, and now booking visits for 2023+. Pls inquire w/Carmen: @thebookingbiz

Please send my love back to the kids! For me, a room full of kids is HEAVEN! There is no greater excitement than the curiosity, energy, and unfiltered honesty of a young audience. Thank you to Librarian-Extraordinaire @MaryZaffron for bringing me!

No, this is not an ad for the U.S. Mint. I'm sharing because my husband, Chris Polentz, designed both the front and back of the Gold Coin and Silver Medal. It was released today! So incredibly proud! You can follow him on Instagram (at)christopherpolentz https://t.co/3xlXzscUPw

@angeladegroot8 @BeachRinda Thank you, Angela! If you read just one book of mine, this is the one I would recommend. 😊 The author’s note printed in the back will explain why this story means so much to me. ❤️

Who knew a Penguin and a Pinecone could become friends? Salina Yoon did, and she turned it into a 9-book series.
