Standing out can make us feel less than.

But as Bronco and his friends learn, bringing

your own particular gifts to the party makes it more fun for everyone. This sweet story and

adventure to remember reminds children and their favorite adults that every one of us is special,

wonderfully made, and essential to God's big party. Find out more at timetibo.com slash bronco

and friends. Felicia Luna Lemons is the author of

novels Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties and Like Sun. Her writing has been featured in numerous

collections and has appeared in many publications and she is currently the visiting writer at

Pittser College. Particulate matter is Felicia's new memoir set against the wildfires that plagued

California in 2020.

This climate disaster served as a menacing backdrop as she chronicled her difficult

year through a collection of still lifes, landscapes, and portraits in prose.

The novel has been praised, well, I should say in poetry. Well, you'll see. The novel has been praised by booklist, NPR, poets, and writers, and Good Morning America, where I had it on my list of books I was really excited about. Enjoy our conversation. Welcome, Felicia. Thank you so much for coming on moms, don't have time to read books today. Thank you so much for having me.
