Smart Girls Like You: Sneak Peek!

(Smart Girls: Able to complete tall piles of homework in a single hour!)

(School supplies are a must-have accessory!)

(Surely this sort of thing never happens in a classroom!)

Since I am close to completion, I thought that I would share a few illustrations from the 5th book in my "Like You" series, Smart Girls Like You. This book and its companion, Smart Boys Like You, will be released this summer in time for back-to-school. Enjoy!

Update! I already have Day #3's manuscript in the can, more or less. I have committed to trying a different theme each day. So far, I have written about a moody baby, a hungry bird, and a sick toddler. Who knows where tomorrow will take me? This challenge has been a great creative departure from my current projects and I am having a ball! Who else is taking the NaPiBoWriWee 2012 challenge?

NaPiBoWriWee 2012: 7 Picture Books in 7 Days! I'm In! Are You?

National Picture Book Writing Week was founded by author Paula Yoo. Starting on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, new and veteran children's picture book authors will accept the challenge to write one picture book per day for 7 days. I am thrilled to be participating in my first NaPiBoWriWee and I invite you to join the fun! You can get all of the details on Paula Yoo's website.

So, forget about editing spelling mistakes, poor grammar, and lousy mechanics. Throw caution to the wind and let your imagination fly! Write the stories you always wanted to read as a child. It's NaPiBoWriWee! Are you in? Game on!
