When we go on vacation to Rehoboth Beach each summer, I love going into Browse About Books and plopping myself in the picture books section to read. I had seen The Boss Baby movie with my kids, but had never read the book. I also didn’t realize there was an equally as adorable book sequel, […]

September came and went and the calm, but productive days of summer are gone. School is in full-swing and as a teacher, that means very little time for my “side gig” as a writer. I managed to get through a couple children’s books that I’d recommend, but that makes my list super short this month. […]
