Have you ever wondered what life had in store for you? When you were a kid, did you think about what you would become or who you were at that moment in time or what you really wanted to be? Those are the questions that someone poses to Blob…and Blob has some very interesting answers. Author/illustrator Anne Appert used heart and humor in her text and in her illustrations to bring kids a super cool story about being true to yourself. And her debut picture book launches on September 14th!!!!
Aren’t we so lucky? Beautiful important books just keep on coming! And today I’m thrilled to sing a grateful Happy Book Birthday to Annette Bay Pimentel’s latest picture book: PURA’S CUENTOS: How Pura Belpre Reshaped Libraries with Her Stories. I’ve always been such a fan of libraries and librarians…so books about them are going to definitely find a place on my shelves. And we are lucky for another reason…one person who leaves a comment and shares this post will win a copy of this amazing book!!
