Want to meet the people behind the books 📚

Isn't it wild to think that all these kids are running around sharing their stories/art and making their dreams come true?✨️

P.S. I saved the best one for last 🙃

We spy @marziehabbas.bsky.social's AARZU ALL AROUND! 👏 #kidlit

It's 5:00 ET on the last day to join #12x12PB! Have you joined yet? Let's clock how @marziehabbas.bsky.social still uses the Forum to get critiques on her manuscripts, even as a well-published author. #kidlit #kidlitart Join us at 12x12challenge.com/m...

Ramadan Mubarak!
It's my favorite time of the year and I'm so happy to share my latest title- RADIANT RAMADAN with the world
Do you have a copy for the toddlers in your life, yet?

It's that dog that you know, hopping into some soda pop, during a writing session. A peanuts illustration inside a writing mug. The coolest mug ever.

Write early in the morning or late at night when you are a little tired, it may help you remove your inner rejection voices when you happen to have them. #AmWriting Sneak up on your brain and write. #Writing. - Wrtr #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky

Highly recommend anything Julie Bliven is teaching/has edited. I wish I could afford this wonderful workshop.
At least I can tell everyone I know about it.
