Take your hands off of books unless you're picking them up to read. You should not pick up books to throw them away or to hide them so that readers can't find them.

Welcome to Blue Sky! I'm a member of SCBWI, and I've presented to regions across the country. Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing the list of presentations I offer. www.valeriebolling.com/workshops-an.... I look forward to hearing from you.

I look forward to being one of the featured authors at the Warwick Children's Book Festival on SUNDAY! I hope to see you there!

Thank you for resharing this, @12x12challenge.bsky.social! So much has changed since I recorded that episode.

HAPPY 4th BOOK BIRTHDAY, #riderollrun! (whose official birthday was yesterday).

It's hard to believe that for four years this book has been encouraging children to have fun by riding, rolling, and running instead of being on their devices. Keep having fun outside! #kidlit #play #fun #getoutdoors

It's hard to believe October will be here next week. I hope everyone has a fabulous fall and that I'll see you at one or more of my events.
