Cathy Stenquist #amquerying

Being a cancer mama & an author, it was hard to miss the gaping hole on our shelves for tiny warriors. Kids with #cancer need books to help them process emotions. But they also need books that aren't just ABOUT cancer. Enter #WARRIOR.🎗 @sleepingbearpbks @SarahKTurnerArt

@VashtiHarrison @amazonbooks @LittleBrownYR Wow! Congratulations! That’s Big!!!

#PBpitch THE KISSING HAND Little Anne, a birdie, gets lost in the woods. She meets many friends who blow her kisses that lead her on the pathway home, until the last kiss fades. She’s alone, in the night, but has learned the secret to keep going in A KISS TO FOLLOW HOME.

Participating in #PBPitch today. Good luck to all putting their babies out there. Seeing such great support of each other makes me smile.

@MadisonKoviak @LawyerBri Thanks so much. It was fun thinking of a name that sounded like "frisbee" :)

@LawyerBri @CathyStenquist Love the names!!!
