✨It’s @publisherswkly official!✨

I’m so excited to introduce you to SOMETIMES A DREAM, which will be released in 2027 by @versifybooks

Thank you to the amazing @lueditsbooks and Nadia Aniff for editing, Monica Perez for acquiring, and @sweetbeyond for bringing Alma and Abito to life.

This story was inspired by my dad whom I miss every day ✨ But it’s meant to cheer on everyone as they work hard for their dreams (whether or not their dreams change with the changing of the seasons).

I got thank you letters from students after a school visit.

Top comments:
📚”Thank you for the book!” All the credit here goes to @rifnova who sponsored my visit and gifted a copy of Squawk of Spanish to every student. Thank you RIF NOVA for all that you do!
🌠 “My favorite part was when you told us you write in your pj’s” Ha! I love sharing this with kids. I haven’t asked but I figure all authors write in their pajama pants, right?
🦜 “My favorite part was when we got to ask questions” I remember these students. They were prepared and engaged. They asked great questions. Did we also talk about our pets? Yes, we covered that too… and all the things we wish we could do in our pajamas.

Thank you @rifnova and @arlingtoncommunityfoundation for the opportunity. And thank you Anita @randolpheslibrary for being a school librarian extraordinaire. Thank you, dear readers, for your pictures and words. I will keep and treasure each one of your letters.

Thank you so much @kindworldpublishing
It’s an honor to translate your beautiful books into Spanish 💕

Lorito and I visited Claremont Immersion school, Home of the Parrots, today 🦜

And what an amazing school visit it was! We talked about how an idea becomes a book (sometimes several years later), the power of revision, and the importance of believing in yourself. There were some great questions and I left with lots of hugs. Thank you, Claremont Parrots! Me encantó conocerlos y poder hablar con ustedes en español 🤗

And thank you to @oldtownbooks for facilitating book sales ✨
