Besides signing copies of Invisible Emmie and Pajama Diaries books, I’ll also be part of a panel for tween/teen readers:

March For Our Lives – EMMIE Poster
As a parent, citizen, and children’s book author, I support the March For Our Lives event that will take place on March 24, 2018. Just for the event, I created some EMMIE posters that anyone can download for free. I made two different designs, either 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17. Click on the links below to download.
I also created a generic poster (no KidLit mention):
Also, please consider donating to March For Our Lives or Moms Demand Action.
Emmie around the world
So here’s something cool: Invisible Emmie has been picked up (so far) by 14 different publishers around the globe. The UK edition came out at the same time as the North American edition (and looks similar). Here are 3 more that are on their way next! The German, French (look at that unique design, which I love) and Spanish covers are shown above. It’s interesting the way each publisher anticipates how its young readers will be drawn in (The German publisher was very adamant about having a teal cover). My only hope is that readers all over the world will ultimately enjoy Emmie.
