@theaterclouds Yup. I charge $125, have won the SCBWI award for picture book text twice, & have published more than two dozen picture books. Email: deborahhopkinson@yahoo.com
As students ask about #AmazonUnions, it's helpful to look at labor union movement leaders of the past. March 25th was the 110th anniversary of the Triangle fire tragedy. Hearing Polish-born Rose Schneiderman speak at a memorial galvanized Frances Perkins. #historymustbeseen
I tell young readers that sometimes we're lucky enough to find something we love to do when we're still young. For #WomensHistoryMonth here's #nonfiction, with lovely art by @qinleng, about a girl named #janeausten who did just that. @BalzerandBray
There are many reasons to appreciate the accomplishments of #JaneAusten during #WomensHistoryMonth. I thought of her recently when we lost power, internet, & heat for in an ice storm. We played cards. Unlike Jane, I didn't get much writing done. @BalzerandBray .
Two extraordinary lives, two birthdays, two books. #lincolnsbirthday #DarwinDay @RHCBEducators
Happy birthday to #charlesdickens ! In our #historicalfiction A Boy Called Dickens, the amazing @hendrixart brings Dickens's difficult time in the blacking factory to life for young readers. @RHCBEducators https://t.co/6XV6KhuKY0
Thanks. This lovely piece by @BiancaHillier is a great listen. Looking for adult novels as gifts? Here are suggestions (The Longbourn audio is amazing). And here's my favorite illustration by @qinleng - look closely at what one young #JaneAusten fan is reading. @BalzerandBray https://t.co/ltZFmBqp1L
My message to all young #writers on this 245th birthday of #JaneAusten. You can do it -- even if the pen has always been in someone else's hand. (Also, save your early work, it might later be worth lots of money). @qinleng @BalzerandBray
I'm delighted to learn that Under the Bodhi Tree has received a 2020 Bronze Award from @ippymag @soundstrue https://t.co/h3owYJQc8b
If you're home this Thanksgiving (& please stay home, if you can) it's a good time to #readwithyourkids & reflect on human nature. Does Mr. Collins remind you of a certain lawyer? Austen: "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?"
