An interview with the author!
David: A fellow illustrator asked me to write a book about dinosaurs for his wonderful young daughter. He said he couldn't draw dinosaurs.
I thought that was a fun idea. At the time, my son was about 2, and was very shy. At the park, I noticed that his friends would come running up to him, shouting his name, and practically jump on him, to say hello. So that's where the personality of Dinah came from.

I had a reputation in college as being a scatterbrain. I could never find my keys and I locked myself out of my room 26 times my first quarter. I went through innumerable pairs of sunglasses and multiple bike locks. I was terrible at keeping track of my own stuff.
Reflecting on the chaos I created for myself as a first-year college student, I estimate that fifty percent of the problem originated in the habits I had developed living across the street from the high school I attended. My mother worked from home and the door to our house was usually unlocked. Even if it was locked, I had figured out at age 8 that I could climb over the back wall from our tree house. So I had keys but I never used them. I also didn’t bother carrying around most of the other things I needed during the day since I knew I’d be stopping home for lunch or even occasionally during class - I’d just tell my algebra teacher I needed to visit my “locker.”

This week is Global Tracheostomy Tube Awareness Week, and I would like to tell you something about this picture and why representation matters.
I love that there's a little girl with a tracheostomy in an advertisement for kids' clothing.
I love that a new audience is now seeing a kid with a trach, because before Xiomara, I had never seen a kid with a trach.
I love that the ad is not about a trach. It's just a kid, in a pretty dress, who happens to have a trach.
I love that there is a parent with a trached kid in the NICU somewhere right now who might see this, and pause, and hopefully then see their kid as a kid full of potential, and not as a long list of medical diagnoses.
I love that this image of the trach is not scary and medical, like it often is.
I love that Xiomara's pulse ox machine is just hanging out in the background. I know that a great majority of people have no idea what that is, but I am so excited for my fellow medical parents to see it and exclaim "WE HAVE THE SAME PULSE OX!"

We’ve been putting them on our dresses, leggings and shorts since 2016 and we’re so honored that many of you tagged us to bring us into the national conversation about pockets for girls.
To continue to raise awareness about this important issue, we’re joining forces with our friends at Girls Will Be, a girls clothing company that makes totally amazing shorts for girls with lots of pockets, to keep the #girlsdeservepockets movement moving forward.

If you can dream it, you can be it.
That's the message behind the awesome new children's book, RAD Girl Revolution, now on Kickstarter!
RAD stands for Rise Above Doubt and Reach Any Dream. The book will feature 30 inspiring storybook-style photos of real little girls in fields typically under-represented by women, along with a rhyming verse describing each career.

There’s a saying by A Wrinkle In Time author Madeleine L’Engle, regarding whether children’s books are a lesser medium of art: “You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
For children have the power to make the world a better place, and they are going to use it.

With the Princess Awesome Book Club, we’ve curated books for kids from baby board books all the way up to chapter books that show a diverse group of women, girls, and even female-type creatures that are learning, exploring, and adventuring to their fullest potential. In the coming weeks, we will be presenting these picks with giveaways, interviews with the authors, and reviews from actual kids who love these stories as much as we do.

I'm delighted that you are making dresses with science and technology on them. And they're twirly! Just because we like science doesn't mean we don't like to have girl fun. I'm especially grateful that I can get my granddaughters things that they will really like to wear in colors they love but that still will remind them of their grandmother.

Grab a coat and get outside! Yes, it's cold but there's a variety of activities that will tire out active kids - skiing, skating, and snowboarding - in addition to other ways to enjoy the outdoors in winter. And some of those activities help build strategic thinking and communication skills.
