The 2nd annual #KidLit4Ceasefire auction is live!

I’ve donated a picture book manuscript critique and a signed copy of Into the Mighty Sea. 🫶🏻🇵🇸

A small portion of the amount raised will also go toward those displaced by the LA fires.

I just received the cutest video of my niece engrossed in reading 'The Secret of the Plátano.' 📖 It's magical to see the next generation connect deeply with characters that look and feel like them. I write to empower our kids with stories celebrating who they are & come from.

Want to prepare your baby for a lifetime of success?

Make literacy a priority from the start.

Surround your child with spoken and written language. Speak, read, sing.

And model reading as a skill - and interest - of your own. (Remember there’s nobody your child wants to emulate more than you.)

I love what this family has created, adding literacy to their daily mealtime routines. After each meal, the children hear books read aloud - which is followed by a short period of independent exploration with books.

Look at how attentive these little guys are. At this age, start small… even a minute or two at a time can help start a lifetime habit.

And never forget that literacy learning begins long before children enter kindergarten. Want them to do well in school? Don’t wait until they get there to begin.

Does/did your baby have favorite board books? I’d love to add them to my list.
