😲🥢📙🤩 Oh wow! I found out PA students chose TRICKY CHOPSTICKS as the Primary Winner for the 2025-2026 Keystone to Reading Book Award. *Thank you* to all who voted—I’m thrilled you loved it as your top pick!

😮 How cool is this?

STUCK! The Story of La Brea Tar Pits, by me, illus. by Valerya Milovanova has been chosen for the #KeystoneBookAwardList 25-26 elem list.

Thank you @keystonestateliteracy committee! I can't wait to see which books the PA kids choose.

😲🥢🤩 I’m so grateful 3 states—Pennsylvania, Maine, & Virginia—nominated TRICKY CHOPSTICKS in their 2025-2026 lists of top 10 picture books. Can’t wait to see how students vote. It’s already such an honor!
