So sorry! I thought I already had, but it should be good now!

I love the themes of Amy's books and the heartfelt and simple way they communicate big ideas. I have a book with similar themes I'd love feedback on to help them also do these things well. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway!

I've been so amazed how Jolene has worked with so many different PB structures and created amazing, engaging work! My kids especially loved The Ofrenda that We Built. Thank you for this giveaway!

I love Jessica's books! I remember first reading Great Carrier Reef to my kids. We were all fascinated by the transformation of the old carrier. Thank you for this giveaway!

Late start here too...going to call it creative time and have my kids work on their own creative projects while I write! Will it work? Hope shines bright....

Wahoo! What a gift. I have loved so many 12x12 webinars.

Marzieh Abbas was my favorite this year! I took so many notes about the different picture book structures and how to think about what structure to use based on what you want to accomplish.

I love all these things!

I'm excited about this list. Keep the curiosity going at bedtime! I
Especially love some of those more lyrical NF titles you have here.

I love this concept so much. I've been teaching mis niños about el Día de los Muertos and would LOVE to read them this book.

It's definitely time for a PB about doilies!

I enjoyed your 12x12 talk and love this next idea for another meta PB!

I pitched for the fun of it and loved the sense of community it provided as I commented on others' pitches!

I think this is relatable to so many parents...a rite of passage to make a trip to the ER.

Hi Yia! It was so great to read some of your manuscripts this past month and I'm excited to connect with you here!

As a former cohost of PBPitch on X, I am SOOOO happy to see #skypitch here! While agent matches and book deals were the goal of PBPitch, my favorite part was seeing the #kidlit community connections being made.

So, creators, embrace the connections you make today. Let's make this place rock!

Feel better! Thanks for participating with comments even though you don't feel well...I feel like it's been wonderful for building community.

That's so cool your son was learning about linen! It's such an amazing textile and uses a lot less resources than cotton.
