My author copies of EARTH: One Planet’s Epic Story arrived, and I say this every time, but I can’t believe it’s really a book! I’ll be sharing more about the process of making it in the coming months. But for now, feeling happy. (EARTH will be out Nov. 10th, and is available for preorder!) #kidlit

It’s finally warm here in New England (and tempting fate to say it out loud, I know!) Windows are open, and cat and I are enjoying the fresh air. Thank goodness for that.
