Happy Friday! Thanks for checking in. What a big week it has been, all thanks to - a very special delivery. If you are a friend on my FB page feel free to skip ahead to BLOB designs. If not, please read along. My picture book proofs for THE LADYBUG RACE arrived for approval! I think I broke all ripping-box-open speeds. There was jumping, high pitches were hit, then quiet reflection as I flipped through the bright pages. What a journey this story has put me on. I am truly grateful for the diligent team at PomegranateKids and the incredible care THE LADYBUG RACE has received (a special thanks to Carey Hall!).
Yes - paper can be hugged. THE LADYBUG RACE will be released in September 2015. Updates and news will be announced via FB and Twitter.
On to BLOBS #34 results! With less than a month now to a spring SCBWI conference, it is shift-into-high-gear mode to get my MUST DO's completed. This means pencil sketches only for designs...enjoy.
