Here’s a clip of a #kidlit song called “Brave” - written by Keith Bosco.

He recorded 5 songs to inspire #kids and their #parents / guardians / teachers / those who care about their future. We plan to release them all very soon.

It’s always a blast reading and talking to students. I sure do miss visiting classrooms.
This was back in 2017. The pumpkin makes it a festive photo.

@okapiproject I got to meet an Okapi after doing a book reading at the San Antonio Zoo School. It was awesome! My family and I were given a behind the scenes tour.

It’s hard to believe that #TheSloppyOkapi will be 3 years old this month. The #book was released on Oct 18, 2017.

Fun Fact: Oct 18th is #WorldOkapiDay. We figured it was the perfect day to release the book. 😀

#Authors are either gluttons for punishment or compelled visionaries.

Which one is it?

Cleaning up is for the birds.
I’d rather enjoy the sunshine.

Oh Charlie, you’re going to regret not cleaning your room when you realize you can’t find what you’re looking for.

🎶 “Clean up. Clean up. Everybody, everywhere.
Clean up. Clean up. Everybody, do your share.” 🎶

This song is stuck in my head. Hopefully, now it’s stuck in your head too.

You’re welcome. 😀

Characters are something else. They don’t exist until you create them. You bring them to life with your stories and illustrations. To all the #authors and #illustrators out there, keep creating!

@FrankKemp3 😀🙌 I’m hoping it generates some giggles.
