Just finished the book The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street by @lindsayncurrie.bsky.social ⚡️Not sure of the last time I read a ghost story but I have a feeling my middle grade readers will be thrilled to read it! Grateful I read it on a bright sunny day and not a dark stormy one! Check it out!

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder They are living, thinking, feeling beings And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs. One love

There’s no place like my mom’s house wherever she may live ♥️ Best homemade BELT ever! When I grow up I wanna be just like her.

Dear #WritingCommunity My debut picture book comes out this spring. I'm no longer on Twitter where I had built up a lot of followers. I want to do a pre-order campaign and offer a free guide to #teachers and #librarians. Any ideas on how best to reach them here or on instagram? TIA for your ideas.

#Teachers if you'd like to be included in a starter pack for getting support w/ classroom supply needs & growing your accounts some, let me know! I want to do all I can to help support your classrooms & students #learning experience #education #clearthelist #donorschoose

Y'all, I'm kind of freaked about this, but apparently I'm turning 50 in just over a week?!? Blerg. So to make it less depressing, I'm hosting a Battle Books Birthday Bash! www.jocelynrish.com/birthday-bash/

Smiles for miles on this #GivingTuesday! Thanks for being a spark of inspiration @SammieBenches and a positive role model for my fourth graders 💛 They were inspired by your video and couldn't wait to give smiles to family and friends. Remember YOU ARE AMAZING!

From cart to table. We pulled off a delicious meal 🍁So much to be grateful for 🧡

Thanks to all who have shared my Unofficial Guide To Bluesky! MUCH appreciated. Other ways to help: - Pass it forward. Help/welcome a Bluesky newcomer. - I make a living writing/illus #KidLit, so consider boosting, borrowing, or buying one of my books? More: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/bl....

Last week, @debbieohi.com's Unofficial Guide To Bluesky was a HUUUUUGE help to the #BWtoBF participants! So let's make sure we boost her where we can. I checked my local library for Debbie's books and and put in requests for the few they didn't have.📚💙

Welp! I made it! Hi #book friends, I'm E Train, a 13-year-old #literacyadvocate, #author interviewer (I've interviewed 200 #MGLit writers) & the founder/CEO of the 501c3 nonprofit "E Train Talks, Inc." I'm excited to be here! etraintalks.com #authors #reading #kindness #literacy #kidlit

First day of Thanksgiving break 🍁 Doctor appointment this morning and now I’m lounging. My middle schooler requested I read The Outsiders since she just finished reading it for class and Dusty Bottoms is vacuuming. Gotta love it! #Teachers #ThanksgivingBreak

Looking forward to more homemade lattes and good reads over Thanksgiving break 🍁 I fell in love with Uprooted by Ruth Chan @ohtruth.bsky.social 🪴The title is an absolutely PERFECT fit for your memoir. Thank you for sharing your story and experience! #graphicnovels #memoir

Watching my newcomer read graphic novels makes me realize how powerful they can be for English learners entering our fourth grade classroom with an itty bit of English. We 💜 Graphic Novels!

Made my day to find this notecard at one of my fourth grader’s desk. Positive self-talk and encouraging words. L🤎VE IT!

Uplifting way to spend my day
