Wonderful to catch up with these 3 on our author panel at Awesome Con in DC & also visit middle schools in the area - I spoke with 1600 kids in 9 assemblies - they had great questions & took the social media safety discussion very seriously. I’m exhausted but my heart is full. ❤️

Just had a meeting with some teachers I'm doing a school visit with in May—I still have slots open if you're interested for AAPI month! They had questions on pronunciations of Hawaiian words in my book and are glad to hear about the guide on my website:
