Welcome to my kidlit newsletter! I'm so glad to have you reading.

First, two pieces of news:

(1) I've decided to post two books a month, because when I looked at the loooong list of books I wanted to share that just seemed like the right thing to do.

(2) Yesterday, I submitted my revisions for a sequel to Petunia, the Girl Who Was NOT a Princess. I really liked the editor's suggestions, and think this revised version is better than the original. 3 out of 3 beta testers (i.e., my family) agree. I hope to be able to announce the title soon, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. Maybe next month!

This Month's Books

Bunny and Me

by Adele Aron Greenspun, illustrated by Joanie Schwarz

This seems like a good book to use for my first post, because it was an absolute favorite in my family. It was my older daughter’s first favorite book, and my younger daughter loved it, too- as did I. In fact, it is one of the books I set aside and did not give away when my kids outgrew it.

Zou and the Box of Kisses

by Michel Gay

Zou and the Box of Kisses is an English translation of a French book. The publisher, Gecko Press, publishes a lot of these. They are a New Zealand publisher, and my in laws (who are New Zealanders) have sent us quite a few of their books. The books are delightful, and I enjoy seeing examples of great children’s literature from around the world.

In this book, a little zebra is going away to sleepover camp for the first time and is worried about missing his parents....
