In honor of Pride Month, I’m reading aloud “Rainbow Cookies,” a new picture book by the wonderful author @lesleanewman and illustrated by @asterplume.
“Rainbow Cookies” shares the story of one little girl’s big heart and inspiring determination to spread love and acceptance. Through her efforts, she brings her community together to celebrate the many colors that make up the beautiful cookie rainbow. Watch here 👉🏼 https://t.co/fMii88Uz4C
Leslea Newman’s children’s books celebrate diversity, speak to the heart, and invite acceptance, awareness, and love. ♥️

If you see a trend on the bookshelves, it’s already passed through traditional publishing. At that point, the editors published the books they wanted and now they’re looking for the next thing.
Best way to track trends? Self publishing and Publishers Marketplace. #amquerying

For 4 Saturdays this group of word workers gathered in a tiny home to write in silence over tea & biscuits. It’s the work of a Shopkeeper that extends beyond the bookshop, but we know the more folks are writing, the more they are healing & the more books we have to share w/ yall.
