Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, my friends! I really can’t believe it is Friday already…the days are FLYING by, just like the leaves from the trees!
But no worries! We’ve got a super cool book today to review and a generous giveaway from author Jenna Grodzicki.
But before we dive in, we have a giveaway winner to announce. A couple of weeks ago, my fabulous illustrator for Making Their Voices Heard: The Inspiring Friendship of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe, Alleanna Harris, offered an original sketch. And the winner is:
Pamela Harrison!
Congratulations, Pamela…I will be in touch with you shortly!
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Are you hungry????

Meet some of the wackiest creatures under the sea―creatures that look like food―through eye-catching photos and engaging text.

Just a week from today, I will be in Chicago, doing a couple of programs for my granddaughter’s school. Author visits visits inspire kids…and spark interest in the topic of the book. Can you imagine how much fun the kids at schools will have with Jenna’s new book? Please remember that the greatest gift for a favorite author is to buy the book, review the book, tell friends about the book, and ask your local library to purchase it for their collection.
And if you’d like to be entered in the giveaway, please leave a comment and share the post on social media – the more shares…the more chances to win!
This looks like such fun! And informative, too.

Everything about this book is cool…the concept, the lovely cover, and the info kids will learn while having fun reading it. I think my nephews would love it (but, to be honest, it would be really cool to win so that I could read it, too.)

Oh yay! What a cool book! I got a sneak peak of it at an SCBWI conference last month, where the author’s agent was using it as an example in a seminar (an awesome seminar). So I already fell inspired and excited about this book (the agent was super-excited about it) and haven’t even gotten to read it yet. Can’t wait to!
