Had a dream where I was majorly stressed out because I had to give away a Gaea’s Cradle. Let’s give one away in real life instead. Japanese Gaea’s Cradle, up for grabs. I’ll choose one random person who replies to this tweet, retweets it, and follows me by end of today.

When you are watching THE SWAN PRINCESS and you are like "hmm this would make a good book" when watching that opening song, but OH WAIT, kind of already did that. All this to say, if you love the song "This Is My Idea", you really should read my book: bookshop.org/books/fake-it-t…

Anna wants to bake macarons for Papa’s birthday, but she can’t find a recipe. Her piggy bank is empty, so she can’t buy them either. A visit to THE PATISSERIE, a dash of hard work, and a dollop of help from a friend might be just the recipe she needs! #PitMad #PB

TO BE A TREE Needled by the bully-next-door, a twig of a boy (w/ a name bigger than he is!) wants to stand up for himself. Can an acorn of an idea grow him into a mighty oak? After gobbling a seed, soil, water & even the sun, he is surprised by what takes root. #pitmad #pb #f #ha
