Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns looks like a great bedtime story. Can you tell us a little about it?
Tag along with Scottie as he recounts 10 bubbles that were
part of his day. But what does Scottie do when he wants to taste a bubble and
his attempts turn into bubble yawns? 🥱
Picturing peaceful bubbles & a soft pup make it easier to
fall asleep until it's time to get up. Feeling safe & comfortable is
an important part of a sleeping schedule & Scottie is the cuddly, cute pup
ready to make bedtime routines easier & enjoyable😴
Any plans to turn it into a series?
Scottie Toddler-Preschool Books
is a Toddler Learning series
Book #5 ~ introduction Scottie’s baby sister - out
soon!
How were the illustrations done in Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns?
It is high priority to give both children and parents
beautiful illustrations meant to capture a child’s imagination, so reading last
long beyond the page.
What inspired you when writing Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns?
Child literacy and sharing the joy of reading are at
the heart of what I do. I learned long ago that even our youngest readers crave
wonder and resolution ~ so I wrote it 💛
What will readers get out of your book?
I had my 1st Barnes & Noble Author Signing
recently and had a blast introducing Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns to so
many people and children. One of the takeaways that readers, young and older
alike, seem to get from Scottie was how relatable this cuddly, cute pup is and
how he will undeniably be a very useful tuck-in-time routine.
How did you come up with the story and ideas in Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns?
I am often approached by parents and caregivers with
questions regarding how to teach a child their numbers, how to get a child to
go to bed on time or to potty, etc. Kids are my heart, so I developed my
Scottie series as an answer to combine themes both parents and pre-schoolers
can benefit and delight from. I want young readers to walk away from my books
delighted ~ I want children to want to read again and again.
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing Scottie’s Ten Bubble Yawns?
Thoughtful illustrations are incredibly important and
to capture the calm brilliance our kiddos deserve - it is a lengthy process to
pair rich text with illustrations that continue to spark interest.
What do you like to do when not writing?
I am a Foodie! Yes - I am one of those people who
takes pictures of food. I love recipes,
baking, cooking, eating and celebrating family and friends with great food.
