Rain didn’t dampen spirits at the NYBG x Leif’s Gift event! Kudos to the families who braved the weather to explore the garden and then joined me indoors for storytime and activities. Thanks to the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and NYBG Shop for hosting me!

I recently visited @NYBG ‘s Mertz Library—the largest botanical research library in the U.S. and found Leif’s Gift in the children’s collection! The NYBG nurtured my love of nature, starting with class trips as a kid. Having my book here feels like the perfect full-circle moment!

I had a wonderful Storytime at @wordsonwarren this past weekend! Even a snowy morning couldn’t keep families away from this cozy new bookshop in Tribeca. It was great meeting all the terrific children and their parents. Aside from reading, I especially loved answering the PLANTASTIC questions!
