A3) Not a trend, but I always want the "direction" of the cover art to lead the eye toward the direction the book opens. For The Guardians of Zoone, I specifically asked for the art to be flipped so that the ship was pointing right. (Art by Evan Monteiro)

A6 INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES! There is so much to learn and so many interesting stories. As always it provides opportunities to learn about other ways of knowing and allows others to see themselves in a story (looking at you )

I'm sad that this fun month of book celebration is coming to an end. Up next for me in the book stack is THE SEA IN WINTER (). I loved I CAN MAKE THIS PROMISE, so I'm really excited for this one.

Day 15 I love this CDN mystery series by narrated by . A fitting tribute to Agatha Christie: it's smart with impeccable research & has the dastardly deeds readers want. If you haven't read this one I highly recommend.

Currently reading The Sea in Winter by . Fell in love with the cover, and am now falling in love with the text.

(Admission: unless it's a rec, I pick books based on title and cover, and never read the back cover in advance.)

My book The Secret of Zoone has a character who's 11 (though I don't think we ended up explicitly stating that in the book). It's a fantasy that would fit that age group (I think).

Just popping in to to say hi! The cover reveal for PLAY LIKE A GIRL (9/27), a graphic memoir about when I played football in middle school, is happening *soon* 😀 It also has so much more than football—like ice-skating...and terrible makeovers!
