09 May Living, Loving, and Writing in the Time of Corona

A quick show of hands. Who is having trouble carrying on as usual? I certainly am. However, I am acutely aware of the fact that my family and I are among the lucky ones. Over here at my house, we are healthy, and my children and grandchildren are healthy and safe.  But it’s still hard. Or maybe a better word is “different.” I know we all want to help, but being in a high-risk category, I am not comfortable being around a lot of people. Yes, we’ve donated money, we’ve followed all the rules to keep ourselves and others safe, but what else can I do?

I have been thinking of the wonderful KidLit community and publishing in general. Like everywhere else, things are in flux.  The very least I can do it to shine some light on upcoming or new releases during this difficult time. Aside from giving these books some love, I hope you click on the links and get a smile. Or maybe even order the books! So without further ado, congrats to Laurie Smollett Kutscera, Vicky Fang, Neil Cross Beckerman, and Katelyn Aronson.
