Yesterday's kidlit trivia question stumped everyone but Tracy Scaglione! The children's book with the most worldwide copies sold wasn't The Hobbit, Harry Potter, or Goodnight Moon. It was The Little Prince. Have you read it? Hope to see you in March! scbwi.org/events/full-... #scbwi #kidlit

Last year, 3 attendees at WIK attended the pitch critique roundtables and ended up signing with an agent or selling a manuscript to an editor. Preparing for the March sessions, this is a good time to share Breezer Heather Phan's blog post about pitching at a conference! www.scbwi.org/events/full-...

There are some terrific critiques, AMAs, books, and more with no bids yet! #kidlit #scbwi #scbwi_sobreeze
