Congratulations on such a wonderful collaboration! I expected it to be good—and it is! Think EVERY child could benefit from reading, but definitely a potential source of joy for children (and adults, like myself) with limb differences. The child in me says: thank you!

I had the most difficulty scheduling — and getting —the latest Moderna vaccine. Me and other people showed up TODAY @cvspharmacy only to be told it ran out LAST night. Y’all I can’t even post the handwritten note (not on letterhead) I was given in case needed for my 9-to-5. SMH.

Inspiring article about @MalcolmJamalWar. Somehow landed on it this early in the a.m., and worth staying up to finish. Poets, writers, #KidLit writers, musicians, other creators, this is worth reading! FYI @publishincolor @SCBWI_MD_DE_WV @sherritmercer @WendyCBoston @RonaShirdan

Texted it to my younger brother who is an amazing rapper (writer), and my niece (a talented unpubbed novelist). Shared on FB. It really has me up reflecting on the writing life. Grateful!

Lately feeling like I'm having trouble sourcing artists (esp unagented) that I can add to my mental rolodex and pitch for book projects. While I don't have a specific project in mind, I want to open my virtual door to artists looking to connect!
