One of my favorite things to do is to shout out about brand-new books that are coming out soon – and it’s always an honor to be asked to reveal the cover! I’m dancing for joy about this book – written by the lovely Jenna Waldman and illustrated by the talented Sharon Davey and published by Apples and Honey Press.
TA-DA!!!!
Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. Today’s selection is special for several reasons: the author is one of my Storm Agency sisters, the book just launched this month, and the topic of body autonomy and consent is one that used to be ignored, but is finally finding its way into conversations…and books!
I can remember when the aunties would come over – and cheek pinching and hug squishing would occur, whether I wanted it or not. I know there will be many children who relate to the main character in this story.
Hip Hip Hooray! A COVER REVEAL!!!
And it’s a book about a library – my home away from home when I was a kid!
And it’s written by one of my dear friends and panel mates from the 2019 NCTE – you know – when we were still traveling here and there, attending book festivals and conferences.
Libraries…one of the last great free resources – open to all.
And I give you:
SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A LIBRARY
