At our SCBWI event on Sat, I chatted with senior editor at Affirm, Meg Whelan in a Q&A, and Meg answered lots of questions from the audience too. Bernadette Green & Nean McKenzie also gave inspiring presentations. All these SCBWI peeps are all creating books for kids. Wonderful!

Today I told myself to stop and smell the irises.
A challenging day at school
A challenging day with my own kids
I couldn’t attend a SCBWI meeting
But I did get some writing done
And the irises were spectacular

How lucky am I?? This #arc of #TheLastThingYoullHear Jan Dunning THE LAST THING YOU'LL HEAR out June 20 is a stunning drumming heart pulsing read - set at a festival! 🎶🎤🎸💕Scholastic #ya #scbwi #FairyTaleTuesday

Got tired of seeing people try to gouge me on ebay by selling my #book for double, triple, etc., the list price, so I listed it myself for 12.99. #supportindies #shaythebrave #kidlit #scbwi

Happy 100th birthday to Mildred Pitts Walter, founding Board member of scbwi and iconic author who believed Black children should be represented in contemporary children books. A hero,an icon, a friend. #scbwi #inclusion

Much respect to you. And this is the part I'm stuck on: from PEN Am to SCBWI to Milkweed Editions here, it's genuinely horrific to see these organizations root their neutrality on this genocide in the fact of some members being ok w/ genocide. This is how you normalize mass murder
