Hello #Kidlit friends! I’m on the hunt for Christmas book comps. I’m looking for Christmas stories that have a how-to aspect and involves silly recipes or food. Thank you!

Kids and I read Lightningborn, the first book in the upcoming Storm Dragon series by Julie Kagawa. We loved it! Kiddo-the-younger is already asking for book 2. Who wants to tell him book 1 doesn’t even pub until April?

One year from today my picture book biography on Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin, will be published. As a Type 1 Diabetic, my son Ryan requires a constant supply of insulin to survive. I am grateful to Frederick for his discovery and selflessness. #insulin4all
