For those of you not in the publishing world, let me just tell you: reviews are A BIG DEAL! Librarians and teachers don’t have time to read ALL the books out there, so they often rely upon professional reviews to decide whether or not they will add a title to their collection. That’s why I am SO thrilled that School Library Journal gave WHATEVER COMES TOMORROW a glowing review! If you are a subscriber, you can read the full review here. If not, here a few blurbs! You’ll get the gist! 🙂

Thrilled to have my first poem in a  wonderful new magazine for tweens and teens called, PaperBound! Check out my poem, “There’s Magic Here” below, which was written during and inspired by a visit to the amazing Highlights Foundation Retreat Center last summer. The entire issue is available for FREE online! (my poem is on p. 58, but definitely read through the entire issue. There are some WONDERFUL stories and poems inside!)

What a week celebrating the book birthday WHATEVER COMES TOMORROW!

I had such a great time sharing the book (and my fabulous butterfly cape!) with the kids at the Summit Free Public Library!

It is so much fun to see my poems come alive with illustrations in a magazine! Here’s one right off the press, featured in the February 2023 issue of Countdown Magazine (one of the fabulous publications put out by The School Magazine in Australia!) How gorgeous is this art by David Lugge!?
