Had a thoroughly overwhelming time at the SF Art Book Fair yesterday. Two buildings full of fabulous design by small presses. And crowds. Who said print is dead?? #books #indiepublishing

I write for you a true story: That cat in a hat sat on a mat. Can’t quite define the conflict and tension yet, but it’s in there. #Caturday #WritingCommunity

Fans of Matilda, The Willoughbys, and Flora & Ulysses are likely to love LEEVA AT LAST, @sarapennypacker’s latest MG. I gobbled it up with vim and vigor. 🍪 🍪 🍪 What have you been reading? #mgbooks #kidlit
