An innocent question from Sawyer Squirrel escalates into an uproar, with a mob of outraged parents storming the library! ARE THERE TURTLES IN THIS? is a sobering but ultimately hopeful look at the repercussions of a community policing the content of their public library. #PBPitch
Feared Pirate Queen Jacqueline the Red could not be stopped... until she fell in love with THE SELKIE MAIDEN. Now even jealous King Neptune can't keep them apart. A lyrical story in the tradition of classic fairy tales. #PBPitch#LGBTQ

#WritingCommunity Do you remember THAT book? The first book you read where you thought: Holy shit! Books are MAGIC! Why did no one tell me sooner? Mine was The Secret Garden. And some book I can't remember the title of about a stray dog finding a family. Do other have THAT book?
You're probably written a first draft, but have you ever written your Zero Draft? I just read a great book of advice on writing picture books. Def. recommend!

Do I write only so someone will read my words? No. Do I HOPE someone will read them? Of course. But I write because writing is akin to breathing. To refuse the urge would cause me immense pain. And eventually I would pass out.

I was just asked, "If you knew nobody was going to read your story, would you still find value in writing it?"
So, is it worth building a home if I'm the only one who will live in it? And nobody wants to even visit?
In shock. I can't answer. 🧵

Sometimes being a writer is googling "How long does it take cyanide to kill someone" and sometimes being a writer is frantically googling "Can cats eat strawberries" because your cat STOLE A STRAWBERRY FROM YOUR PLATE AND RAN OFF. #writerscommunity
