If your library is one in the Pikes Peak Library D If your library is one in the Pikes Peak Library District, mark your calendars for Sept. 26. As part of the All Pikes Peak Reads program, I will read BEFORE I LIVED HERE by me, Victo Ngai and Neal Porter Books/Holiday House for children at 11 am. There will be a craft, a Q&A (if anyone has them), and I will sign books too. Poor Richards Bookstore will be selling books at the library. At 12:30 pm, there will be a workshop for adults about writing picture books and enjoying them - even if you are older than the 4-8 year audience. Register for these events at the library’s website Ppld.org/appr. See you there! #ppld #picturebooks #childrensbooks #childrenshistorybooks #victongaiart #BeforeILivedHere

Girls on Strike! In 1909, it happened. Here’s a li Girls on Strike! In 1909, it happened. Here’s a little Monday History that made a huge impact. BRAVE GIRL Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers’ Strike of 1909 by Michelle Market & Melissa Sweet. Find this book to learn more about how young girls improved workers’ conditions and pay. It’s difficult to read what happened to the Clara Lemlich, an immigrant, who found work in a garment factory to support her family. She was one of thousands, who were treated unfairly by their bosses. #history #picturebook #childrensbooks #workers #factory #1909 #strikes #unions

I'm still writing and revising. Thank you critique partners! Thank you Deborah Warren and Ana Crespo too! I can't wait to see what the next published book will be.

For this dog person, I really liked these two pict For this dog person, I really liked these two picture books that feature cats (and one dog). PAY ATTENTION TO ME! by Kate McKean and Rob Justus and WIDGET by Lynn Rossiter McFarland and Jim McFarland. They were published 25 years apart. Thanks to the public library, I found them both on the shelf. Read them with your cat (and pet) loving kiddos. #childrensbooks #cats #publiclibrary #libraryhaul
