Please send my love back to the kids! For me, a room full of kids is HEAVEN! There is no greater excitement than the curiosity, energy, and unfiltered honesty of a young audience. Thank you to Librarian-Extraordinaire @MaryZaffron for bringing me!

Who knew a Penguin and a Pinecone could become friends? Salina Yoon did, and she turned it into a 9-book series. Link: rindabeach.com/my-reads/revi…

Another amazing BookBreak Author Talk today! Author/illustrator @SalinaYoon shared her heartwarming book, Be a Friend. She dove into themes of acceptance, uniqueness, & the joy of finding someone who understands you. Perfect for sparking discussions on empathy in your classrooms!

So excited to be with BookBreak tomorrow on Wed!
We have two amazing authors joining us at BookBreak this week! Salina Yoon will be sharing Be a Friend on Wednesday. Matt de la Peña will be discussing Last Stop on Market Street on Thursday. Kindness runs through both books and we think that's a fantastic way to start 2024.
