My story “The Juggler Triplets” will appear in the November issue of Abe’s Peanut, a micro-magazine for kids ages 6-10. Delivered in four postcard installments, the story appears on one side with full-color illustration by Lichen Frank on the other.
Independently published by editors Anna and Tess Knoebel, Abe’s Peanut launched this year after the success of Abe’s Penny, a micro-magazine for adults: “Off-set printed on double thick matte card stock, each issue dispenses art and literature while becoming a collectible, temporal object.” (In kidspeak: “They look cool tacked to your bedroom door.”)
Recent Abe’s Peanut contributors include Audrey Vernick, author of Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten?, and Lisa Tharpe, author of P is for Please: A Bestiary of Manners.
Kids love receiving their own mail, so here’s a chance to receive four postcards with your child’s name on the label.
Leave a comment naming your child’s favorite picture book for one contest entry. Mention the giveaway elsewhere for two additional entries. A winner will be chosen on Friday, October 22nd.
And stay-tuned for PiBoIdMo in November, when there will be several itty-bitty (plus some hugantic) giveaways!
My son Henry’s favorite picture book is “No, David!” Abe’s Peanut sounds like a great idea!!
Good Night Moon
Making Life a Work of Art!
My daughter’s favorite picture book du jour is Harry and Horsie, by Katie Van Camp.
Sounds very cool. My daughter’s favorite picture book is A Weekend With Wendall by Kevin Henkes. Really, just about anything by Kevin Henkes is favored in our house!
I have four kiddies and they all like different stuff. Daughter #1: Pinkalicious Son #1: anything Thomas the Train, Daughter #2: The Sneetches and Son #2: Dinosaur vs. Bedtime.
When You Give a Pig a Party; Too Many Toys; Rap-a-Tap-Tap; Abi-yo-yo
Congratulations on your story, and thanks for the giveaway!
My oldest daughter’s favorite PB is NEVER USE A KNIFE AND FORK by Neil Goddard. She has the book memorized, and it is now officially the first book she can ‘read’ to us.
My daughter’s favorite picture book is Pinkalicious. My son’s favorite picture book is Diary of a Worm.
P.S. I passed an award to you on my blog after discovering that you are the illustrious founder of PiBoIdMo. Go you!
My kid’s favorite picture book is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! We’ve read it close to twenty times!
Love the idea of a postcard magazine! My son has got so many favorites, it’s hard for him to pick one! I think right now it’s a tie between Don’t Let the Pigeon Take The Bus, by Mo Willems, Charlie’s Superhero Underpants by Paul Bright and Lee Wildish and Round Trip by Ann Jonas.
