My first nonfiction picture book - which comes out today from @penguinkids - is a love letter to books, libraries, learning and Civil Rights leader John Lewis, who loved those things, too. 🧵1/6 – at Sun Prairie, WI

Happy Pigeon Appreciation Day! I can think of no better advocate for pigeons than the inimitable Nikola Tesla, who when not transforming our lives with his groundbreaking inventions, dedicated his life to caring for the pigeons of New York. #NationalPigeonDay #nikolatesla
Huge thanks to @FuseEight for hosting The One & Only Googoosh's cover reveal and for this Q&A. I am excited for readers to learn about Googoosh's incredible life and I highly encourage you to view the video links of her performing!
