Sending love to everyone struggling today. I don't have any answers, but please hold space for your feelings & make time to care for yourself and loved ones. And whenever you can, take a deep breath and get back to your essential work in the world. There is so much to do.

Still processing what an amazing experience it was to read at the White House Hallo-READ event yesterday! More photos to come after I pinch myself again to make sure it was real.

It's been a wild week but I can finally share that I'll be reading THE SCARIEST KITTEN IN THE WORLD on the White House lawn today! It's part of @POTUS & @FLOTUS's Hallo-READ celebration, and I couldn't be more honored to be invited. (Photos to come later on!)

When October offers up one last 70-degree day, you don't waste it. #Adirondacks

I did a lot of this kind of writing when I was working on my upcoming novel in verse, THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES, about an angry kid who vandalizes a cemetery & finds himself sentenced to climb 46 mountains with a dog he doesn't like.

Happy National Day on Writing! I'm thrilled to be the Author Ambassador for @writingproject's Write Out, an initiative to get us outdoors with our notebooks. Heading outside to write with your class this week? Here are some great writing prompts to get you started! (thread)

Be careful out there. It's almost Halloween, and you never know who might jump out of the leaves!
