Vera Ahiyya (The Tutu Teacher) and Joey Chou gathered virtually to record a thoughtful Q&A about their 2024 Anna Dewdney Award winning title, KINDergarten, where they answered fun rapid-fire questions, and discussed their creative process!

You can also find a read-aloud of the book from Vera, and a drawing demonstration from Joey! Check it out: https://everychildareader.net/anna/

NO RULES - JUST READ!

It’s Children’s Book Week 2024 from May 6-12 and I got this dope poster courtesy of the The Children's Book Council with amazing artwork from Sophie Blackall.

The theme this year is: No Rules Just Read

So, how do my two books, Trucks at First Sight and Sports at First Sight fit in??

My books use universally loved and embraced subjects (like trucks and sports) to change the way early readers and learners think about counting, colors, patterns, shapes, groups, spatial organization in a different way to help their young minds figure out which methods of learning and organization work for them!

For links to both books, check my bio and stories!!

Congrats Deb!! 🥳🎊
