97. This is a most interesting tale.

This is a work of creative genius.

This is an illustrated story with no pictures.

This is the newest book by @danielnayeri and it releases next week.

This is a children's book, but it's okay for adults to read it, too.

"This Is A Door" ... to adventure, wonder, imagination, wandering, and finding out who you are.

This is a book I read in advance on @netgalley

⁣
Acclaimed author Daniel Nayeri joins me on the Makers & Mystics podcast for a conversation about storytelling, imagination, the spiritual life, and the ways our creative work can become a gift to others.⁣
⁣
We talk about the discipline of a creative life, why imagination needs to be practiced, and how beauty and frivolity serve a purpose that goes beyond their usefulness. We also explore the mystery of a God who leaves so much to our imagination and the possibility that making art is a way of serving our fellow humans.⁣
⁣
The conversation was sparked in part by Daniel’s new book, 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘢 𝘋𝘰𝘰𝘳.⁣
⁣
Listen to the full conversation on Makers & Mystics, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. ⁣

A collection of images from @therabbitroom's 2026 Hutchmoot.

There was good people, good conversations, good music, good art, good drinks, good books, and more. I was actually have too good of a time that I didn't take enough pictures of all that was good about this delightful, whimsical half-week together.

While I was there for work, it was a time of rest and reset, too. And it was very good to hang out with some of my authors (and maybe even opened conversations/got ideas for future authors)!

Couldn't visit @boydsmills and not venture into town!

Visited the @honesdalepubliclibrary, met the children's librarian, Ms. Betty! Ms. Betty was incredibly kind helping me locate books by friends and supported my efforts in getting their books into the library system. You can do the same too! If you love a book or want to support an author's work, request it at your library, if they don't already have it!

While there, I browsed the children's selections and found a beautiful collection of books by friends, colleagues, and mentors!

I also got an honorary library card! Maybe I can use it before it expires next year?

The books from our first big order (just a little under 2000 😬!) have arrived and it’s time to unbox, sort, pack, and have them picked up by our wonderful school chairs! It will be so much fun sharing these treasures with our Rochester Community School students and classrooms over the next weeks and months! @rochesterschoolsmi #unboxing #bts

Happy 3rd birthday, Yellow Bird Books! I had the most lovely time at your birthday party, and I had to maneuver carefully to get these pictures without any people in them because it was packed!! I walked out with three purchased books, two ARCs (INCLUDING A SIGNED THIS IS A DOOR BY DANIEL NIYERI WHAAAAATTTTTT), one zine, a bunch of stickers, some candies, two cards, a pair of earrings, a pin, and a Goosebumps tote.

If you have a chance to stop by @yellowbirdbooksaurora today - Saturday, October 17th - please do!!
