#50PreciousWordsforKids is ALMOST HERE

Hello dear friends. I’ve only got one more prize to distribute for #50PreciousWords…and that’s a good thing because…

IT’S TIME FOR #50PRECIOUSWORDSFORKIDS!!!

I know that many of you participated in the adult contest…and perhaps your children wanted to write a story, too. Or perhaps you are an educator, looking for a way to encourage your students to be writing.

#50PRECIOUSWORDSFORKIDS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY!!!

The challenge is open to ALL children under the age of 18…and if they’d prefer to pen a graphic story, that is totally fine. If your child wants to tell the story in illustrations…or wants to include illustrations with their words, please send it to me as a jpeg…and I will be able to share it with all the other stories in the special Mother’s Day post on May 10.

Please don’t miss this chance to help kids MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD!!!

Contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
And please SHARE this event widely…if everyone tells at least 3 people or posts on at least 1 social media platform, I know we will have a good turnout!

Happy Mother’s Day – And Happy #50PreciousWordsforKids


Happy Mother’s Day to every person who fills that role – moms, grandmothers, teachers, babysitters, daycare providers, neighbors…and yes…sometimes dads!

My daughter and grandson – 16 years ago!

PLUS, I’m also attaching the flyer for #50PreciousWordsforKids because today is the first day of Children’s Book Week – and as always, I’m inviting parents and teachers to email me their children’s stories which will be posted on my blog for Mother’s Day next Sunday.
But for now, let’s welcome Lindsey!
