Yeah that is hard. I started reading at bedtime bc I was having such a hard time falling asleep. So it helps me sleep better. And also, finding really good novels has made my quality of life better too. Haha. But I am probably going back to school soon so I doubt I’ll be reading for pleasure soon πŸ₯΄

I read at bedtime for about 30 minutes to an hour. Mostly fiction.

It’s still 8:30am on Sunday in California. Your first mistake was living in the wrong time zone.

This little tooth fairy decided to work smarter, not harder! Even fairies need some time to decompress. Swipe to see what she invents!

Thank you, #scbwi , for the inspiring and juicy prompt.

Sign above rotary phone reads: "A Wind Phone is for anyone who has lost someone special in their life. We hope you find comfort in expressing feelings, sharing memories and saying the goodbyes you never had the opportunity to say. As you talk with your loved one, let the wind carry your words over the trees and into the beyond. Grief is a natural response to loss and is unique to everyone. Give yourself permission to feel whatever you feel, without judgement."

When @jridpath.bsky.social were hiking on the Bruce Trail, we came across a Wind Phone. Has anyone else heard of these? Created in Japan by Itaru Sasaki, wind phones are for anyone who has lost someone special in their life.

Willa the witch wishes you a Happy Halloween! She may stop at your house for candy tonight, and as sweet as she looks, she loses her temper if she doesn’t get chocolate. I don’t want anyone getting turned into a frog again.

I love this bc I am also an actor, and I draw upon my acting background all the time when I illustrate! I love how my theatrical career informs my kidlit books.

Oh interesting question!! I always start on page 4 because I assumed first spread meant 2 page spread! But maybe I misunderstood!
