Do you know what's fun? Making tiny books. I'm trying to figure out a tiny book plan for school with my daughter and I think I'm just going to plump for "let's make tiny books" and let that be it. Thoughts, @saraoleary.bsky.social ? childrensbookroom.wordpress.com/2023/10/16/t...
The Little Books of the Little Brontës
This is my third whack at writing this and by God I will post this today. I absolutely refuse to let war take more comfort and beauty from us, and, come hell and/or high water, I will post this review...

I would be amiss did I not remind you, dear followers, that I am also an #ireadcanadian author. My book is a Middle-Grade mermaid story set in Cape Breton. There’s intrigue, a museum heist, and family ties. #kidlit #middlegrade 🇨🇦
Go ahead & buy a copy if you are so inclined.

My daughter is raising funds to get her film made. It's about a little monster with a human under the bed. It's also about growing up and a bunch of other stuff and I think it's going to be great.
