Happy Thursday! I have three fun things to share today.
First, in celebration of National Poetry Month, I’m guest blogging this week over at ReadDiscussDo.com with 10 ideas for celebrating poetry with our children. This is a subject close to my heart because one of the reasons I write and enjoy poetry as a grownup is that my parents and teachers shared their love of poetry with me when I was a child. Interested in doing the same? Then, hop on over to my post there as I share ten ways to get you started.
Second, I have FIVE open-to-the-public book events and signings happening in various corners of New Jersey this spring. Here’s the list and I hope you can join me at one or more of them.
Third, my next book releases coming October. It’s called My Tender Heart Devotions and it might just be my favorite yet!
Here’s the official description:
My Tender Heart Devotions offers 52 age-appropriate meditations for toddlers and preschoolers, including Bible verses and prayer. Using concrete, everyday experiences or objects that little ones can relate to, each weekly reflection is easy to understand and prompts conversation about God’s goodness and love. Written in catchy rhyme, an opening poem is followed by a short devotional that includes a Bible passage, a playful “Heart Moment” activity, and a prayer.
SPECIAL REQUEST: If you would like to be on the launch team for this next book, please let me know by reaching out to me via my contact tab. I’m just starting to put the list together. Tasks include things like sharing about the book on your social media, recommending it to your local children’s ministry programs, Christian schools, libraries etc. The publisher will provide a watermarked digital copy of the book for you to review. I hope you will consider helping the book get a good start in this way.
In the meantime, here are two easy ways you can help let others know about the book (and make this author’s heart overflow with gratitude.)
Way #1: Add it to your Goodreads “to-read” shelf.
Way #2: Pre-order it from Amazon.
