I did a school visit at Calpella Elementary School in Ukiah yesterday. And look what they have - a book vending machine!! That is the coolest thing! Kids earn tokens for reading and they get to use their tokens in the book vending machine to get a book. I LOVE it!
It's LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING's Book Birthday!! I'm so excited to bring you the latest Luna math adventure. School Library Journal calls it: "A vibrant, culturally rich addition to math collections that engagingly combines storytelling and probability. @charlesbridge.bsky.social

Thank you librarian Stacey Rattner and Castleton Elementary in New York for celebrating LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING's book birthday with balloons, activities, and a special visit from illustrator Violet Kim who led the class in a sticky rice dumpling draw along. 😄😍
My upcoming picture book, LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING, part of Charlesbridge Publishing's Storytelling Math series, is releasing on MAY 19! It features the Dragon Boat Festival. In my latest newsletter, I cover the legend, the food, the traditions & rituals, and a cute craft: app.smore.com/n/jczes
So excited to be helping out a wonderful charity in San Jose, CA., Hope's Corner, that my sister Shirin volunteers with. They provide nutritious meals & warm showers to those in need. I'll be reading LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING to families and kids and facilitating a fun dragon boat racing activity.
