This book by Pat Zietlow Miller celebrates introverts and quiet leaders. Also, those times we seek out others for community.

Pat Zietlow Miller saw an early version of the BLUE JAYS manuscript, and her enthusiasm helped me know that it was ready to submit. It's the manuscript that caught the attention of my agent and the first book I sold! @kl4gm.bsky.social @annehunterstudio.bsky.social #birds #fall #acorns #kidlit
I saw a draft of this story doing critiques for @scbwi.bsky.social. I gave feedback and nominated it for a conference award. Now, it’s a book by @lynnstreetbooks.bsky.social
and @annehunterstudio.bsky.social
I’m so glad Lynn told me so I can share the news.
