My 9 year olds first complete story, a historical fiction about the Lenape people. I didn’t cry! Mostly because it is in fact, a little gory. We realized he spells gory with an “e” because he’s only seen it written for Edward Gorey. I think that’s a fine mistake!

So happy for you!!!!!

Thank you @inkedauthor31.bsky.social for my lovely prize! This was my randomly selected prize for getting an honorable mention in the PB + Kid Judges contest (for my story MORDECHAI IS IN A PICKLE), and it’s perfect. I’m crazy excited about all these @papermate.bsky.social pens!!

This feels especially good because the judges are kids! Thanks PB and Kid Judges ❤️

He signed all the books for my kids school book fair ❤️
