Children's book author Ruth Spiro read from her new book "Growing Together" for a cute group of kids at the Bookstall in Winnetka today. Her book is an introduction to gardening for little ones. Everyone had fun. #picture books

I so enjoyed attending Carolyn Crimi’s book launch yesterday evening. Her picture book, “Jayden Noticed,” is about a little boy who notices things, especially rocks. Thus, she held her event at Dave’s Rock Shop on Main Street in Evanston. #writingcommunity #picturebooks

During Black History Month, I’ve been reading plenty of picture books. One of my favorites is “So Many Years.” It starts off asking questions and ends with beautifully crafted answers. #picturebooks #writingcommunity #blackhistorymonth
