Beyond humbled to be part of this year’s Fall Writing Frenzy Winners. Baby steps, folks! Big thanks to all the sponsors AND @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social @lydialukidis.bsky.social

What could be better than Jon Klassen’s unique perspective, palette, shapes and quiet humor? Why hearing him read aloud, and answer kidlit questions, of course. Amazing! @jonklassen.bsky.social

Thank you to all the generous donors and @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social and @lydialukidis.bsky.social for this GREAT opportunity! Good luck to all the author’s entries
