If a reviewer uses the word chapeau, you know you’re in good hands. I LOVE this fantastic review from Kirkus! Link or full review follows: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
It’s Indie Bookstore Day! Authors ask their followers to “support your local indie” b/c they support us. I will never forget the kindnesses and support I received from hardworking booksellers during my debut year. Stop by an indie today! @peoplesbooktakoma.com #CuriousIguana #Wordplay #CityofAsylum
Call (202) 224-3121. Ask to be connected to your representative’s office. Tell them to count you as a “NO” ON H.R 7661, the horrible Federal book ban bill. 📚 That’s it! You’ll probably talk to an intern or volunteer who is taking a tally. Your vote counts. ✊🏻
It’s officially ONE WEEK until MAC arrives. And ✨SURPRISE✨Molly and Mac go to the same school!🏫 I love this adorable artwork by #GillianReid. There’s still time to preorder a copy of #MacWearsAHat from your favorite bookstore. Thanks for all your support. ❤️🎩📚
(202) 224-3121 Today, please call the US Capitol switchboard and ask for your representative. Then tell your rep that you oppose H.R. 7661, the Federal book banning bill. It’s that simple. This is an all-hands-on-deck timeline. Thank you.
I love this bookseller review, and I love this illustration by #GillianReid! (I think it’s my favorite.) 10 more days to preorder. I appreciate your support more than you know. 🎩 🔗: highfivebooks.org/collections/... #littlebeebooks #MacWearsaHat
Today is a good day to revisit my #SLJ interview, where I talk about the historical significance of Pride. Today the Pride flag is heading back to Stonewall, per a Fed settlement agmt. Symbols of our hard-won rights matter. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ 🔗 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/06/01/c...
More good news! Thank you @slj.com for a nice review of my next picture book with illustrator #GillianReid, Mac Wears a Hat, out soon on April 28th. #littlebeebooks
I’m super excited to be a part of this year’s week-long celebration of children’s literature, Mass Kids Lit Fest, May 3-9th! Love this poster by #tompappalardo of Standard Design. Full calendar of events: www.makidslitfest.org
We have some super fun events for MAC coming up this Spring, including joint appearances with Gillian Reid! More details to come. Interested in hosting a reading at your school, bookstore, or library? Plz reach out thru the contact page on my website. 🎩
I’ll add to the unfortunate conversation about the Pride flag being removed from our historical site at Stonewall. You can’t erase us because we are woven into this country’s history, and we’re not going anywhere. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
We’re in great company, wow! Thanks for the feature, #growingbookbybook. 🎩 🔗: growingbookbybook.com/books-to-enj... Be prepared for hat day at school by preordering a copy of #MacWearsAHat, everywhere books are sold! ❤️📚 #littlebeebooks #GillianReid

I’ve watched people and dogs walk across this frozen lake all day. There’s a metaphor there. Something, something, fragility and belief.
