Here is a really cute book to read to preschoolers. I like it because it is great for teaching children to count to 20 and for number recognition. “One Moose, Twenty Mice” is by Clare Beaton and is published by Barefoot Books. On each page there is a number with that many animals on it,…

Snow Party
I love the children’s book “Snow Party” by Harriet Ziefert. The book is illustrated by Mark Jones and retails for $16.95. The book is published by Blue Apple Books. The book is about snow people and how they are looking for the perfect spot to have a party. They are celebrating the winter solstice or…
Southwesterly Wind by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roz

double check
Always check your work as much as possible. All authors know that it is expensive to get things edited on your own. Using you spell and grammer check on the word processor is a good resource to use. Then reread as much as possible. Then print up your work and go over it with a…
Is it hard to get publish?
One of the hardest things about getting published, is getting the right information. It is so hard to find the right people to help you out. Everyone tells me that I shouldn’t have to pay for publishing and things, but I always do. The internet is full of dead ends when looking for the right…
