Popping on real quick to say this really spoke to me @MonicaHesse! From one creative mama to another💪. I made writing time happen because I HAD to. My debut nonfiction picture book comes out next year with @ClarionBooks & I began researching it with a 2-year-old & 5-year-old.

This is for you #kidlit folks. My seven-year-old this morning: "You know what it is about books? I just get lost in them." ❤️

One symptom my kids are children of a writer? At snack time, I heard them reciting lines from the book I'm working on like it was the most normal thing in the world.❤️

Hey @VashtiHarrison, I’m not expecting you to remember, but we met a couple years back at the @scbwi NY winter conference. I remember you saying how busy you were with projects & you wanted to do your own stuff, too. Now watching BIG take off, I can’t help but smile. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
