Honored to be featured on the original #kidlit blog Cynsations any day! Why I ❤️ writing for 8-12 yo's, when I learned language has power (it's all about the #teachers), how I'm still here 14 years (!) after Brendan Buckley's Universe, and more. Thanks, @suma_v_s ! #middlegrade
Been thinking about the power of the collective and then read this in Katherine Locke’s The Girl w/ the Red 🎈: “Collective memory is more powerful than collective amnesia.” Thank you for the reminder @Bibliogato#stories#truth#StrongerTogether#books#bannedbooks
