Teaming up for Earth

4/22/2022

0 Comments

 
Today is Earth Day. Hooray! Taking care of our planet is a BIG job, but we can make it easier by teaming up to help each other. My family works together to recycle, which reduces landfill waste. We also plant flowers in our backyard for butterflies and other pollinators. (The monarch butterfly is my favorite.)

In ELLIE ULTRA: TEAM EARTH TAKEOVER, Ellie tackles a special Earth Day project with her best friend, Hannah. After all, saving the planet isn't only a superhero's job.

Let's team up and help Earth together!

Yay for young authors!

Recently, I visited young authors at a local school and got the chance to hear some of their stories. WOW! I was amazed by their talent. It's only a matter of time before their books start popping up on library shelves. 

It was also beyond awesome to see how much the school appreciates its creative students. Every author (and illustrator!) is celebrated with charisma and encouragement. No doubt it means the world to them!

Today marked the 32nd annual Children's Book Fair in Chicago, where readers of all ages came to celebrate stories. It was beyond inspiring! I signed copies of two titles from ELLIE ULTRA and met so many fans of our super girl. The books were graciously sponsored by generous local businesses.

Hugs go out to Ellie's readers, plus my heartfelt appreciation to those who give kids the power to read!
