Happy Book Birthday to My Mom is NOT a Superhero! Congrats!

My picture book is now available for pre-order! Tic-Tac-Toe Chicken follows Beatrice, who finds a clever way to rescue a chicken trained to play tic-tac-toe in an arcade. Inspired by a real chicken.#picturebook #picturebooksforchildren #librarians #teachers #parents #chinatown #chickens #kidlit

What my TBR list says about me: I read fiction and nonfiction, adult and kidlit, mostly contemporary, and multiple books at the same time.

What does your To Be Read list say about you?

There's just something about chickens that makes them perfect characters for books. Happy book birthday to Peg Gets Crackin' by @jorenfro_illustrator !
