So, my dogs were in and out of my office checking in with me.
I keep picture books all around me.
I left choices for the dogs from books I’ve recently read on the floor.
What books are the dog leaning into?
Maggie: Banksy Graffitied Walls and Wasn’t Sorry. by Fausto Gilberti. It’s a biography and very funny.
Chili: I’m Not Missing by Kashelle Gourley and Skylar Hogan. A great book for dog owners. Lots of fun humor.
I’m team Balderdash! John Newberry and the Boisterous Birth of Children’s Books by Michelle Markel and Nancy Carpenter. I re-read it this week. I’m trying to find a resource listed in the book. I need a super hero, so I’ll probably check in with a librarian soon!
Hope you find a good book to read on both stormy and non-stormy days.
Yikes it’s been a minute (or million) since I’ve made a blog post.
I’ve been spending time writing, revising, and social media-ing.
I wanted to share a post I wrote for KidLit Works — a promo group of children’s book authors and illustrators with books being published in 2024 and beyond.
In the post, I share tips for busy parents to make the most out of their visit to the library. When my son was little we made weekly runs to the library to find books. I make several trips a month now as an author.
The post also includes a downloadable reading challenge and a reading recommendation list, so you can track books you want to find.
The library has always been a staple in my life. As a parent and writer, I save a lot of money by reading books from the library. I would never be able to purchase the number of books I read.
