As far as I can tell, Doctor #Fauci is being investigated by Congress for being a scientist
Have you been #pregnant? #Wildhorses in the last days of pregnancy & their families flee govt choppers in searing heat. Newborns & aborted babies are among fatalities. Trapped, mares, stallions and foals designated wean-able are separated. Blind, lame & albino mustangs are shot. Scott Wilson image
Take a last summer splash, a roam on the range, a peek into the life of a wild horse foal #picturebook #STEM #STEAM #EarlyReader #wildhorses #horses #environment #backtoschool #PhantomStallionsFamily
Warn your students: I just read the #Grokopedia entry on me which includes wild horse advocacy & opposition to it. This #AI generated platform has major inaccuracies in every paragraph @edumatch.bsky.social #edusky #RecoveringTeacher #author #kidlit #reading #BackToSchool #research
Man breeds animals to suit his fancy. Nature breeds for the terrain, the climate, for survival. Beauty just happens along the way. Consider this muscled, magnificent stallion and ask yourself why our government is dead-set on exterminating them. #wildhorses #Nature #horses #wildlife #MarkOfSpeed
A few years ago #Disney had a $ plan for kids saving for a trip to #Disneyland. Apparently that's gone? If yes, has any financial institution picked up the ball? #Grandma question
One of the softest things in the world is the satiny ears of a burro. This once wild girl settled into captivity -- better than a life spent in a government pen -- with gratitude #burros #wildhorses #Hugs
SOME SAY KIDS DON'T READ: At #Breyerfest throngs of kids moved by my booth then whip-lashed at the sight of books. People in surrounding booths came to see if I was offering candy, but nope, just talking books & horses. Don't give up on kids, just let them read what they love #PhantomStallion #read
Nature's artistry glows on the face of a mustang mare #wildhorses #Nature #horses
Galloping into your home today! FEATHER THE FOAL! #booklaunch #picturebook @simonkids.bsky.social @thehauntedbookshop.com #STEM #wildhorses
Little reader living in the wild horse world as she reads my picture book FEATHER THE FOAL. And my heart soars #kidlitchat #kidlit #summer #STEM
So, there's a reason #HorseGirl's biography stops in 1971 and this says it perfectly: "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.” #OrsonWelles #writercommunity #writecommunity #WriteSky #skybrarians #horses #kidlit
I am so excited to get back into the classroom today! I'm doing my first author visit for THE PHANTOM STALLION'S FAMILY. Looking over my mini-lesson, I've realized how much wild horse science I wove into the story. Can't wait to see how the kids like it! Wish me luck! #kidlit

When child Velma was hospitalized & immobilized to "cure" polio after- effects, she dreamed of horses & a husband who'd love her a little more than he loved horses. Turns out that was Charlie. Interviews & Velma's personal papers allow my Sept book HORSE GIRL to myth-bust their marriage #lovestory

Some of my favorite days were spent on Shackleford Banks documenting wild horse behavior w #EarthWatch. Thanks for bringing back the memory @jenbritton.bsky.social #wildhorses
Creative brilliance from @kazwindness.bsky.social. Revision rocks #crud #kidlit #KazWindness
“You really had to hand it to Mr. Lehrer. While dying at work is never ideal, he had the decency to do it during his off period.” No question THE FACULTY LOUNGE was written by an educator. Real-life teaching + dark humor = summer TBR pile #kidlitchat --for you, not kids #classroom #humor #teachers
#HorseGirls grow up, but they never outgrow horses. Remember that on #MothersDay even if you can't buy her a pony
HORSE GIRL: this is how it begins. I give away free pocket ponies at nearly all of my book events and the kids' expressions enchant me every time #horses #horsegirls #children #ponies
Long-lens the real #PhantomStallion #unicorn shot after his capture & rescue from gelding (v) and sale. He was freed on 5,000 fenced acres with his in-foal lead mare #wildhorses
#IndependentBookstoreDay 's best part? Talking to 2 #MG writers about craft, world-building, mythology, conflict & characters. I lavished encouragement on them since 7th grade was when my parents convinced me a teacher's accusation of (creative writing) plagiarism was sorta positive #PhantomStallion
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL SHAKESPEARE! Thanks for some of the greatest moments of my life. And hey #teachers, here's Shakespeare for Children, a site I wish I'd discovered when I was in the classroom www.shakespeareforourchildren.com/hap #Shakespeare #Elizabethan #Theater #dramallama
