So many talented writers! So many generous prize donors!

I am SO excited to share the AMAZINGLY ADORABLE cover for my board book, UNICORN SURPRISE!, ill. by Teresa Bellon. Avail from Highlights Press on 9/1/26! This is the follow up to DINOSAUR SURPRISE! & also has felt flaps and a mirror for "Baby-Corn" to wave "hi!"🥰

So original and thought-provoking!

Thank you! I'm glad to see that your wish list includes funny, punny picture books.

A friend sent me this—these are actually great writing prompts. 😂💜

Those sound like great resources. Thanks!

Thanks for all the weather information you provide. I appreciate these posts.

What helped the most?

Why do I live here?

I got “enfeebled.” Can’t wait to see how that plays out.🙄

Please tell me 2026 will be better.

But then the rest of us wouldn’t get to enjoy those extra posts!

Cappuccinos for me.

Well, my first attempt to highlight GILBERT AND THE GHOST didn't show up as I intended, so I'm trying again. It's a terrific book.

Read this book -- it's terrific. (The cookies look yummy too.)
