Picture Books, Anyone???

Hello Everybody,
I hope you year is going great. Just stopping through to alert you to an exciting picture book challenge. It’s called 12X12 in 2012, and it’s…well, why not read on to get the details?

Here’s the scoop: Author Julie Hedlund has launched a picture book challenge where participants write 12 picture book drafts in 2012. That’s right, they write a picture book a month. ANY author and/or illustrator at any level of publishing experience can participate.

Isn’t that great? But there’s so much more to this fun picture book challenge. Just click on the following link for more details:

Hope to see you there, because I plan to join!

Best wishes and happy writing,

Rita Lorraine

Hello Everyone! I am a former special education teacher, and am currently a full-time children's writer, book blogger and freelance editor. My newest picture book,
The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read (Random House) debuted as the No. 1 Picture Book in Women's Biographies and Children's American History. It has since won the 2022 Texas Bluebonnet Award, the 2021 SCBWI Crystal Kite, and the 2022 Rhode Island Children's Book Award. It has received STARRED REVIEWS from Kirkus, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal, and received a great review by The Wall Street Journal. My first picture book, Hammering for Freedom: The William Lewis Story (Lee and Low) debuted on September 24, 2018. It is a School Library Journal selection and received positive Kirkus and Horn Book reviews. I penned African Americans of Chattanooga: A History of Unsung Heroes, and I earned the 2014 SCBWI Letter of Merit for an unpublished multicultural novel. I am the author of several educational books for teens, and I occasionally review books for The New York Journal of Books. Thanks for visiting!
