May 8 – National Family Month

Yesterday, Familius released my latest board book! And, for me, it didn’t go quite as expected, as the first signed copy went to my back surgeon… in the surgery room! Yes, I had to have minor back surgery on book release day (sigh…). Still, I wanted to let everyone know it is now available for purchase from your favorite bookseller!

I’m feeling much more clear-headed today, and I suppose it’s a lesson that advanced planning is useful. Thank goodness for scheduling social media posts, interviews, reviews, and giveaways in advance (thank you, Sincerely Stacie and Simply 7 for making my book release even more special!).

This delightful board book is illustrated by the talented Volha Kahliaha. Her bright, eye-catching, humorous illustrations are full of expressive faces (including the cat!) that are bound to have the family giggling. I wrote this story from a baby’s perspective (if babies could talk!) to capture a day-in-the-life of an active baby. I hope everyone enjoys it and finds it a book worth bonding over and providing much sweet, lap time reading.
