I’m not a social media person, (my hubby will say not a social person altogether 😂 ) but am mainly on Bluesky. #kidlitchat

Hi 👋, I’m Pallavi, mom to a 4 year old 👦, children’s book writer and poet. Currently working on revising a picture book with too many layers 🤦🏻‍♀️ #momswritersclub

autumn leaves are falling from a window with the words autumn like i love it ALT: autumn leaves are falling from a window with the words autumn like i love it

A joyful ode to the graceful dance of Autumn leaves juxtaposed with a cheerful ballet class of tiny tots of diff races, shapes, sizes, genders,
and abilities. They tumble and twirl like leaves, fall down and help each other in this lyrical, rhyming, nature-themed poem PB. #DVPit #PB #POC #SEL

Since time immemorial, little ones have wondered “Where does the sun go at night?” Join little Ro in the US as he finds the answer to this mystery with his grandma in India over a geography experiment during a video call and learn how families that live far apart stay connected. #DVPit #STEM #PB #Q

I seem to be really good at pitches haha. People like my pitch and they request my manuscript but they don’t seem to like the manuscript as much.🤦🏻‍♀️ #kidlitchat

Thank you @johackl.bsky.social 😊

Thank you @andrewssusanm.bsky.social 😊

I’m attending as well! This is my first #pbsummit . It’s AWESOME!

Today he turned four.
We thought we were alone, then
The village showed up.

#HaikuSaturday

Joining late, but it’s hard to pick just one. There so many that were great. Valerie Bolling’s “Luscious Layers” and Heidi Stemple’s revision tips helped me the most in my WIP PB manuscript.

Just keep writing just keep writing, writing writing ( in the tune of Dory from Finding Nemo). #kidlitchat

But that’s the main question. Someone other than the writer and their family/friends need to chime in about whether the story is good or not. IMHO.

Congratulations!

Awesome post! Thanks @debbieohi.com. It’s also very encouraging. I have an MS in computer engineering and worked for > 20yrs in chip design. I loved to draw as a kid, growing up in India, but as a working adult in the US, I came across Bob Ross’s videos, adopted his style and stopped drawing.

That’s great news! Wish you all the best of luck!

Congratulations!🎉
