4 Stormy and Puddly New Picture Books
Island Storm by Brian Floca, illustrated by Sydney Smith (9780823456475) Two siblings set off to watch a thunderstorm arrive at their island home. They walk through the forest to the beach where the waves grow bigger and crash on the shore. They pull one another onward, following the road along the water as the wind gets stronger. They keep on going, past the lighthouse and into the empty town.

Educators: You can help show next generation the value of HUMAN creativity. When talking about illustrated books, pls mention illustrators by name? Display student artwork on your walls w/credit. Discuss illustrators w/your class. Invite illustrators to visit your school!

I’ve been quite teary lately. Triggered by various small sadnesses, joy, even a beautiful description of a Feast of the Seven Fishes in a memoir I’m reading (The Light of the World by Elizabeth Alexander. Poetic & beautiful). I’m not sure why…but I guess it doesn’t really matter. It’s good to feel.

New on my Publishing Peptalk substack.
'When you think of your writing life at its best, what do you want it to bring you - practically, emotionally, creatively?'
I asked 50 author/illustrators, and this is what they said.

I’m accompanying my hubby on a work trip to a nice place by the ocean, & I’m going to make a writing retreat out of it. (Yay, lucky me!) I’ve just had a vision of ordering a pot of tea and a scone from room service. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna do it! That’s VERY writing retreat-y, right? 😁
