Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends! I’m so glad you are here because I’m featuring a VERY SPECIAL BOOK written by a VERY SPECIAL AUTHOR…my dear friend, NCTE panel-mate Pamela Courtney! I remember seeing many of Pam’s early manuscripts…and I loved ALL of them. And so I am especially thrilled to welcome her debut book which launches in only a few days on May 20th and is brilliantly illustrated by Toni D. Chambers. And please stick around through the entire blog post because author Pam is giving away a SIGNED copy of this beautiful new book to One Lucky Winner who leaves a comment and SHARES this post on social media!
Happy Mother’s Day to every person who fills that role – moms, grandmothers, teachers, babysitters, daycare providers, neighbors…and yes…sometimes dads!
