Lol. I guess today is my two year 2 yr Twitter anniversary. Go figure. 🤔

If you’re a picture book writer and thinking of giving up… DON’T! When I first joined my critique group, NONE of us was agented or published. But take a look at what’s happened since… 1/3

Want to get more work done in 2 hours than people do in 2 weeks? Use these 9 productivity hacks:

HARRY THE DIRTY DOG x NO DAVID-For 6 y/o non-gender specific Bailey temptation is too great, despite Mom’s warning. Readers go on imaginary adventures with MC & pet dog in a HUGE dirt pile. MC discovers water & the real fun begins! Everyone loves dirt-but NOT Mom! #PBPitch

BABY ON THE MOVE Babies experience joy & frustration when they discover ways to move. Babies roll, scoot, crawl, stand, walk & fall. Babies feel proud sitting up, mad when stuck, hurt when they fall, & are comforted by a loving family.#PB #Conceptbook #PBPitch

NO DAVID x EVERYONE POOPS-Gender neutral MC on inspiring romp to become a big kid. Throw diapers away. Scurry-hurry to the store & buy nifty-glitzy SKIVVIES. Meltdown-forgot favorite pair. Emboldened MC gets creative & after a bumpy day becomes a SUPER SKIVVY HERO! #PBPitch

Nothing better than freshly made Rice Crispy Treats especially if you haven’t had them in YEARS! Feel like a kid again.

🎉🥳 WOOT! DIFFERENT, written by Mónica Montañés, illustrated by Eva Sánchez Gómez and translated by Lawrence Schimel was chosen as a Batchelder Honor Book at the #ALAYMA❗ #childrensbooks #picturebooks
