16 years ago I wrote a book “The Dot” - thanks to all those who found it and shared it. I hoped the book would encourage young and old to create bravely and ‘make their mark.’

Thank you, Michelle & Barack! I loved your reading of my book! It made my day. I lost a dear friend last week. I had no words. Now I have some words: YOU RECHARGED MY SOUL. I remember Bill next to me during the inauguration in DC with tears streaming down his face. : ) #grateful

Barack and I had so much fun reading “The Word Collector” for a family read-a-long through the @chipublib . This book is one of my favorites—it reminds me of what it was like to get lost in the magic of words as a little kid. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Be aware of your words around children especially when talking about your own art. I often hear adults say “I can’t draw.” Kids learn from their heroes. Be kinder & more generous w/ your art & creative endeavors. ❤️ #art #creativity #KindnessMatters Be as brave as a child.
