Friendsgiving Winners Announcement 12/3/24

There are so many wonderful things about the writing community and being able to share book joy on my social media and giveaways here on my blog. If you only follow my blog, you may not know that I spent the week before Thanksgiving in Boston. I spent the beginning of the week with Lisa Rogers, one of the wonderful authors featured in this giveaway and the rest of the week at the National Council of Teacher of English (NCTE) National Conference where I had the good fortune to meet another one of the wonderful authors who is part of this giveaway, Judith Valdéz B. These are both women I have been friends with virtually for quite a while, but now we have been able to spend time together in person too! I’ll try to share a blogpost or two about Boston and the conference in the next week or two.

Congratulations to the winners! Please email me at Ljrwritenow @ Gmail.com with your mailing address so that I can share it with the author and your books will be on their way!

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
