Write your story! It's inevitable that you will fi Write your story! It's inevitable that you will find a story that is similar to your own. Know, no one will write it like you. While there may be a reason to let a story go into the "digital" drawer, there may a great reason to keep going. For example, a penguin loving child likely wants MORE stories about penguins not less. So write your story. Good luck! #writerthoughts #childrensauthor ⁠ #amwriting #writingcommunity #book #writing #writerslife #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #author #writerscommunity #publishing #authorlife #words
My local library's summer reading program is under My local library's summer reading program is under way! This year's theme is "Unearth a Story." The library has lots of dinosaurs around that makes it even more fun to visit. If you are looking for stories, I want to suggest our book BEFORE I LIVED HERE by me, @victongai and Neal Porter Books @holidayhousepeachtree. The book unearths the story of the neighborhood where your home is. If you read to the end, you'll discover dinosaurs too! Check it out at your library or at a bookstore. #unearthastory #summerreading #picturebooks #dinosaurs #childrensbooks
Here's a little Monday History from a picture book Here's a little Monday History from a picture book. Today, I'm sharing WHAT MISS MITCHELL SAW by Hayley Barrett and Diana Sudyka. It's about teacher, astronomer, and activist Maria Mitchell, who discovered a comet. No one had seen one before! I love stories about firsts! Check out the book at your library. For many, summer reading programs are in full swing. For others, you may have a few more days of school. I hope you find books you enjoy this summer. #picturebook #MondayHistory #nonfictionpicturebook #chidlrensbook #biography #astronomy #stem #comet
Another fun book haul from the library. COWBOYS AT Another fun book haul from the library. COWBOYS AT THE BALLET is the story of choreographer Agnes de Mille. It takes her a while to figure out where she fits in in the dance world. BROKEN is an age old story of broken things and the aftermath. X. Fang is always brilliant. THE POPPY LADY is about Moina Belle Michael, who pledged to remember those lost in war and helped those through it. Be sure to read the author's note to learn of the author's personal connection to The Poppy Lady. I hope you have time to visit the library and find a book to read together.
I gathered several ghost 👻books at my library. Mos I gathered several ghost 👻books at my library. Most I put on hold from the catalog and later I found some, because the librarians were like "what about this one?" I have a graphic novel Ghost Book by Remy Lai sitting on my desk to read too. Ghosts seem to be having a moment over the last two years. This collection of picture books were all really fun. I love Leonard and his garden. The voice of this book 🥰 Ghosts are year round treasures, not just for halloween. #childrensbooks #ghosts
