It's been a long time coming, but I'm starting a read-aloud series on Youtube for children, where the focus is having an actual person read stories to kids.
It's been a personal passion project (yay, alliteration), and it's something that means a lot to me.
Here's why: 🧵
The goal is not to write a book, it's to become a writer.
The goal is not to have illustrations published, it's to become an illustrator.
Whatever we're working on, the outcome isn't the goal--the process is.
“The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader.
The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner.
The goal is not to learn an instrument, the goal is to become a musician.
This year, focus on the identity you want to build.” — @JamesClear
@JSeym0ur Just watched your #kidlit youtube video. Families will love it! You're entertaining and read with great expression and voice and it's such fun to watch! Kuddos! https://t.co/sPqflbguK7
Ahhhh... My heart! I showed my kids the first couple of episodes of the new show: The Hook Book Barrel...
And my son wanted more!!!
Well, on that wickedly positive note, here it is for y'all to enjoy... I guess?

@CristaM124036 ITS SO GOOD!
But seriously, if someone really takes a deep dive into the details, it's incredible! The music, the stories, or even the fact that there's a sausage dog hidden in every episode. So amazing!
Hot take:
Anyone looking for a masterclass on children's writing, watch (and analyze) the show, #Bluey.
The depth and layers are some of the best I've seen (at least as far as kid's shows go).

Anyway, more news to come, but if you've made this far, thank you for reading. If you've authored any children's books (or know any authors that have) and would maybe be interested in having your book on the show, don't hesitate to reach out.
