Everyone loves a good review, but having been around a few children’s writers, I know authors love when teachers are endorsing their books. Teachers and librarians know what kids like to read.

There is no recommendation as compelling as a teacher holding your book. Brava, Darlene!
It’s good to see a previously published book still making waves. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day in Spain.
