Happy Spring!
This past week The Good Sportsmanship Journal (for soccer) was made available. Although it can be used on its own, it can also be used as a companion workbook to The Kids' (and parents', too!) Book of Good Sportsmanship. 


This one is soccer-themed and offers a great place to jot down notes about good sportsmanship observed at practices or games. It's the first in a line of manners-themed workbooks/journals in development, and I think children and grownups will get lots of use out of them, through both writing in them and talking together about the topics.

Let me know what you think -- I love to hear from you.

Happy reading,

Leslie

Introducing a New Children's Picture book, Wish

Dear Book Lovers,
It's been awhile since I've posted and I apologize.  Several books were brewing, each with its own interesting set of questions and issues. Unfortunately, a massive log jam developed.  While I was afraid that all was lost, low and behold a book that I'd dreamt about for years suddenly became a possibility and it leapfrogged over all the other books to burst into life.

I am excited to share that my first children's picture book is being published on November 17th, 2015. It is called Wish and it's about the journey of a dandelion seed. It's for ages 0 -3 and I know that babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers are going to just love it.

The illustrations are bright and colorful and drawn by Tanja Tadic. Right now pre-orders are available for Kindle and hopefully soon for the print version.  Otherwise both versions will be available starting on the 17th.

Here it is:  Isn't it cute?

Please let me know what you think!  I'd love to hear from you.  I am hopeful that some of my other "log jams" will now behave themselves and I'll be sharing more about them soon. In fact, if any of you like time travel, I may have the story for you!

Happy Reading,

Leslie
