Katie wants to show her stuffed elephant, Peanut, his ancestors at the museum. When she loses her parents in the process, she is thrown into an adventure and gets a bit of help from not only peanut, but some of the museum exhibits! #WMpitch #PB #STEM

i think it’s time we made an lgbtq #writingcommunity follow train, precisely for this reason. so if u accept everyone of every sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age + gender. retweet and follow everyone who retweets. let’s make this a safe space. @lmjuniper we got u❣️

I'm too busy and I'm turning down work! In search of an unpublished black female illustrator to refer some work to for a picture book project. Can you help me out, twitter? Please share your work/website with me. The artist should have a good sense of animal character designing.

Important question for #writingcommunity If an #author has a avatar instead of a profile picture, does it make you more or less likely to #follow or interact? Really wanting some solid answers here. Would appreciate a retweet.

As the year winds down and we look toward 2019, I’m asking you to make a commitment: find something you want to change in your community and take the first step toward changing it. If you need some inspiration, take a look at some of the young leaders who inspired me this year.
