I wrote an article with my tips for writing a children’s book. I’m often asked this question, so I thought I’d put it all in a blog post. #kidlit #booksky

Here’s a reminder that not because someone speaks in Spanish it means that they can be a translator or copyeditor. There are so many nuances to consider when one is translating. Also, knowledge of the craft and industry is a must! Hit me up if you have any translation projects.

My #FathersDay post is WAY too late but here it goes:
Meet Patrick,Vampirita’s dad, or Father as she calls him. He’s kind, understanding and most important: he is present, even if her parents are divorced. Happy Father’s Day to all dads who are like Patrick! #booksky #earlymg #kidlit #ReycraftBooks

My latest publication is a short story titled Pachakamaq and Pachamama, in this storybook by Lonely Planet Kids Books. It features 20 traditional retellings from authors from all around the world. A Treasury of Traditional Tales is truly a treasure!

One of the coolest things that can happen to an author is to see their book turned into a storywalk and be able to see families enjoy it in real time!! So grateful to #Oxford Lane Library in #Ohio for turning my book into a magical experience. ❤️❤️❤️ #booksky #bookish #librarian

Last month I visited my son’s AP English class to give a workshop about poetry. They wrote amazing poem about their senior experience. Yesterday I received a thank you note that reminded me of the power of using our words. ❤️ #bookish #poetry #booksky #teachingartist
