My next book, due in June of this year, is a complete departure from the fantasy novel that came out last year, THOMAS AND THE DRAGON QUEEN (Knopf), and a return to picture book format. It’s titled: MINE!
And I thought you all might be interested in seeing the wonderful artwork of the illustrator, Patrice Barton. It’s published by Knopf, and edited by the talented Michelle Frey.
MINE! is a simple tale of one-upmanship with a hero who is a VERY YOUNG child. This book is for sharing with any child who has ever laid claim to all the toys within reach. It was inspired by the Toddler’s Creed—something I always keep in mind when writing for this age group.
Love it!
And I hope you will love MINE! when it gets here. I do know that many online ordering sites are doing preorders right now.
Happy National Reading Month to all of you!
