@AprilBerryBooks @LoriMKeating @HaLoTeachLearn @JLindseyBooks @author_laurenk As a middle-grade reader I loved 'Why Have the Birds Stopped Singing' by Zoa Sherburne and loved it! I still have my copy somewhere but I have read it so many times, pages are falling out! 😊 #kidlit #kidlitmeetngreet #writinglife #WritingCommunity
