Never stop talking about it.

Don't forget to register for this fabulous one-day conference! This will be my fifth year and I wouldn't miss it. It's a holiday of Picture Book Magic and immersion in your craft! Go for it!

Congratulations, Nakisa! Best of luck in the showcase!!

Hi! The submission period is in a few weeks! I also did it last year. A unique opportunity for a mentorship!

Ideas generated during #Storystorm definitely feed my story content for a year of #12x12PB and beyond! Participating in both is ingrained in my writerly life. It's a given that #12x12PB inspires my creativity and idea generation during webinars, book chats, and while sharing the kidlit space.

Spending time in nature, connecting with friends and family, travel, and creating with words and art will give me a sense of wonder.

Both! I love the ritual of the thing - latte / mocha, loose tea or bag, hands warming on a steaming mug. Meditation and the slowing of the pace.

The Sound of Music is my favorite - I remember singing all of the songs around the family piano. My favorite of Julie's picture books was The First Notes - The Story of Do, Re, Mi. By the way, did anyone else fall in love with Julie's chapter book called Mandy?

The list is long, but here are a few of my favorite creators - Juana Martinez-Neal, David Ezra Stein, Laurie Keller, Abi Cushman, Vashti Harrison, Magdalena Mora, Jason Chin, Lee White, Jake Parker, Will Terry!

My membership in 12 x 12 Challenge means inspiring webinars and bookchats, an active forum for critiques, and encouragement from fellow creators to name a few! WOOHOO!

Guessing 1350!

I live in Wisconsin and write PB and Chapter Book fiction.

Agree - #PBParty day is definitely a holiday. Yolo the groundhog prefers clover, but is testing out pancakes.
