Dragon Masters fan Mia came to visit me at the Dragon Wagon yesterday and gave me this Worm and Drake she made from pipe cleaners. Isn’t it cool? Thanks, Mia!

Trans kids: you are seen. You are loved. No court ruling can change your worth.

Happy #independentbookstoreday!

Harriet the Spy. And yes.

Had a blast talking about my days of writing Pokémon books.

I had a great time talking with you! Brought back so many memories. Thanks for having me on.

Every day I send out a pile of mail destined for readers, parents, teachers and librarians in all corners of the world. The US mail helps me make connections, spread book joy, and sell books. #savetheusps

In my opinion it’s the Chroma because the Chroma is despair, and without hope all is lost. Glad you enjoyed the books!

Yes, she realized that their skills could help in a way hers couldn’t.

That’s a tricky question, because their powers are so different.

Thanks! And fun fact: I stood up and screamed too. I had no idea that was going to happen.

Did you know you can head over to my website to sign up for my monthly newsletter? It’s the best way to get news about books, contests, and appearances, and each one comes with a free, printable activity.

Thanks for pre-ordering and happy reading!

If you’re seeing this please accept a virtual hug from me.

January means bringing the bookshelves in from The Dragon Wagon book bus and doing inventory. All done, thanks to the best crew ever!

Oh wow, your Dragon Master is a perfect Drake! Happy Bookoween!

I stand in community with all trans people and their families. No legislation can erase them. #libertyandjusticeforall

We stand united against the deeply unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read. We unequivocally support the availability of diverse voices on our library shelves, in our schools, and in our culture. We pledge to band together against the oppression of literature, to speak when our voices are silenced, to go where our bodies are needed, and to fight as one to ensure this freedom. Together, we shall be fearless. 
 Our concern is not only for the books themselves, but for the children, families, educators, librarians, and communities that suffer when the freedom to read is challenged and taken away. We abhor the bias of the current organized attempt to censor books in schools and libraries across our nation, particularly because of these efforts’ insidious targeting of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ stories, erasure of history, and silencing of voices that speak truthfully about essential human experiences. The great power of literature is its ability to create empathy, foster self-empowerm

Our Mission Statement:

Wowza, you’re raising a great reader! Please give him a dragon-sized hello from me

Cute little find today—a vintage bank meant for saving up book buying money.

Interesting read. But it’s more than just bypassing, right? It’s also sharing the correct information, just not in direct response to the false info.

I am so excited to announce my new series coming out this fall in collaboration with illustrator Carolina Vasquez! Dragon Hill is part of the Scholastic Acorn line of books for emergent readers ages 4-7. This series is set in the Dragon Masters world but the main characters are young dragons.
