Tomorrow, I’m honored to be featured in the Children’s Books Spotlight Series which shares stories of authors and illustrators. You probably enjoyed the Last full moon of the decade and I’ve shared many other moon photos in my blog over the years.

Countdown to Apollo 11 50th Anniversary – 4 life lessons from Aliana
