helluva bday weekend for a helluva guy! so lucky to love you @jmarvel__ ! here’s to more flowers and candlelight and games and blue skies and laughs and dinner parties and lil treats and puppy snuggles next year and forever and ever and ever
before I delete social media for the rest of the year (I must heal! text me! cold call!), it’s Junie’s job to remind you that I wrote a Christmas picture book and it’s one of the best gifts you can give for under $15! visit your local indie and stock up 🎁🎄
Bidding farewell to summer with some BIG NEWS! If you’ve ever heard me talk about “that feeling after you get out of the pool,” then you know what this book is about. It’s also about being at home in our bodies and taking care of each other. Thanks to @stevenmalk , @spanishbroom , @xfang_studio , and @knopfyoungreaders for making it all happen. Summer 27 here we come! 🌊
