If you have a toddler who points out every single car they see… you already know 😂🏎️

Jack is completely car obsessed right now, so when @stephymully offered to put us on the list to receive an advance copy of her new Little Golden Book about Formula One Racing, I knew it would be a hit. Safe to say I was right. 🥹🏁

He immediately started pointing out all the race cars and wanted to look through every page. I love finding books that actually match the things he’s interested in because getting him excited about reading feels like such a little win. 🤍

Thank you @stephymully and Penguin Random House for thinking of us and sending Jack an advance copy! 🏎️📚

Just popping on here to highlight some Maine-based stores that have signed copies of my third book, ‘Space Girl.’ One of my favorite parts of being an author is getting to collaborate with independent bookstores and small businesses to spread our love of all things Maine!

Please let me know if you end up visiting any of these amazing spots!
