Samantha van Leer appears at the Texas Library Association's annual conference. A woman with shoulder-length brown hair is seated at a table on which stands the aquamarine cover of her book. Behind her is another woman, smiling for the camera, with short permed reddish-hair. Behind them both is a banner featuring the bright covers of a dozen or so children's books.
“Sorry, but we don’t do aliens,” is what @samanthavanleer.bsky.social heard from publishers who were considering her novel THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL ZOO. Now, her book is recommended by School Library Journal. Read her take on Middle Grade sci-fi in the SLJ ⤵️
