Blog postLiving in reasonable proximity to my hometown has always been a comfort to me. Even when life and kids and work meant the occasional long stretches between visits, I knew I could hop on a train or jump in my car and be in New York in a few short hours. It’s strange for me to feel even the slightest worry or hesitation in going home to a place that’s as familiar as breathing. But due to Covid travel restrictions and the need to keep things safe (and simple), I haven’t been been back in many mo

Blog postDear Readers,
We are so excited to share with you our latest collaboration, Bunny in the Middle.
This story really began many years ago—when an illustrator met a copywriter, got married, moved to a little cottage near the sea, and had two daughters.
Then, a third daughter arrived. And as new babies tend to do, she turned their little world upside down for a time. But as the years went on and everyone began to settle into life as a family of five, they -
Blog postThe first Broadway show my parents ever took me to was Peter Pan starring Sandy Duncan. I was six years old and utterly captivated. Everything about the show thrilled me: the larger-than-life sets, the sweeping music—seeing kids singing, FLYING, dancing! I bought the soundtrack and pretended I was Wendy. Some days, I was Peter.

Blog postToday, I have the great pleasure of spotlighting a writer I’ve known for (wait for it…) 32 years. When we met, we were two curly-headed tweens attending summer theatre camp in upstate, New York. Like a moth to a bright light, I was instantly drawn to this feisty, funny, creative spirit, who had a gift for […]

Blog postToday’s the day Carmen makes her dramatic entrance! I’m so thrilled for you to meet this one-girl sensación!
She was inspired by my love of theatre and imagination; by my hermanito, Brandon, and my hermanita, Elisa; and by my three daughters, who have a vibrant (if occasionally exhausting) enthusiasm for performing arts.
I hope young readers of all backgrounds will relate to her creativity and flair for the dramatic—as well as her love of her familia and big h -
Blog postLaunching a new book into the world is worthy of a grand celebration. Whether it’s your first book or your fiftieth — it’s important to mark the occasion with fanfare. Throw a bash! Invite your friends! Revel in the moment! You earned it. But successfully launching a book involves more than just party planning. The work of […]

Blog postLast month, I met a teacher in Hutchinson, Kansas – Shannon Vieyra – via Skype in the Classroom. Ms. Vierya’s students and I spent forty or so minutes chatting about reading, creative writing, journaling, inspiration, brainstorming, first drafts and revision.
Skype sessions are always enjoyable for me, but a few really stand out. I come away feeling especially gratified, because the teachers and students are so enthusiastic and engaged. This was one of th -
Blog postConnecting the dots with the fourth grade students of The Midtown Academy in Baltimore.
Post election, many of us in kidlit are thinking about the responsibility that comes with writing for children: A responsibility to create stories that reflect our diverse world, foster understanding and acceptance of differences, and above all, inspire empathy.
I stand with the children’s book community in their pledge to bring these kinds of books into the world. And YOU can, to -
