I had so much fun at my first book signing at Barnes & Noble in Bridgeport Village! Thank you to Brent for making the day such a success. My biggest fear that no one would talk to me did not come true.
So happy to be featured on the @WritersRumpus ! Check it our for a #giveaway
I had the great pleasure of interviewing Madhu Messenger about her new picture book, THE WEDDING SHOE SNATCH. Madhu is offering a manuscript critique or Zoom AMA to a lucky reader! 🥿❤️

📖 Madhu Messenger (@having__hope), one of our former WNDB mentees, has published her debut picture book, THE WEDDING SHOE SNATCH, illustrated by @darshika_varma and published by @AlbertWhitman!

ALT An orange promotional graphic with a square photo framed at the center and outlined in white. The photo shows a 3D mock-up of a picture book cover. The book is “The Wedding Shoe Snatch” by Madhu Messenger and illustrated by Darshika Varma, published by Albert Whitman & Company. At the top of the photo is bold, white text that says, “Out Now!” The borders of the graphic are decorated with light orange flowers and tiny orange stars.
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!!
