Notes on September 2024

In September . . .
. . . I shared 9 books for kids starting kindergarten.
It was fun to talk about some of my favorites.

. . . I talked with Jason Chin, and revealed the cover for his next book.
It’s called Hurricane, and it’s coming next year.

. . . I challenged you to name the book based on the kid drawing.
Some are easy, some are not.
