Back to School with Meg and Megan!
I’m thrilled to be part of this online event, hosted by Wild Rumpus Books, with fellow picture book author Meg Fleming! We will interview each other about our new books—which are both about heading back to school—and read (of course!), and take some questions, too!
Event is free, but registration is required: megandmegan.brownpapertickets.com
Hope you can join us for what I’m sure will be a fun conversation featuring these new books:
HENRY AT HOME, by Megan Maynor, illustrated by Alea Marley
SOUNDS LIKE SCHOOL SPIRIT, by Meg Fleming, illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins
Book Launch on the Patio
Let’s ease back in to in-person events with an evening story time on the patio at Red Balloon Bookshop! I’ll share a bit about the story behind the story of HENRY AT HOME, illustrated by Alea Marley, read the book, answer questions, and share some (individually wrapped) treats!
Bring the kids and come join me!
"You Can Do It!" picture book panel at Wordplay
