Five months to pub day. Woot! 🎉 I am dying for you to meet the adorable characters in MONSTER MANNER’S A TO Z. And honestly, it would make me as happy as a werewolf on a full moon if you would mark it 'want to read' on Goodreads and/or request your local library carry a copy. 🥰 #MyDebutBook #KidLit

The Cerritos Library is awesome! Not only does it have an impressive selections of books but there's also a gigantic aquarium, lighthouse, spaceship, T-rex skeleton and more. This was such a fun Saturday adventure! #kidlit #picturebooks #libraries
Check out this magical companion to Josh Funk’s DEAR DRAGON! It’s a charming pen pal adventure featuring two awesome artists, an upbeat unicorn, and cute kitties. (How can you beat that?) Charles Santoso’s bright and cheerful illustrations are the icing on the cake! #picturebook #kidlit
