Hey,

I've been busy with picture book revisions. I hope this story will one day be a picture book that can be read with children. For now, it feels like a jumble of drafts, notes, and ideas.

I'll figure it out. That's what writer's do. I'm blessed to have several critique groups, who help me simplify and punch up my stories.

I share tips on the KidLit Works blog to help busy parents use the library to save time and money in the quest to find new picture books to read with their children. Hint: Use the library.

Want to share a great children's book you've read recently? Every Friday (or any day of the week) readers share favorite children's books at Book Recommendations for Children Facebook group.

Today is April Fool's Day. I'm always on alert in case I find myself in the middle of a practical joke.

Happy reading.

Enjoy, Stacy S. Jensen
