It's a bit nerve-wracking, waiting for the first review of a new book to come in! Well, Kirkus Reviews had some lovely things to say about DRESS LIKE A GIRL: "...this book encourages girls to broaden their horizons beyond princesses and fairies." "The ink-and-watercolor illustrations render lively children against spare backgrounds of rooms throughout the house that adapt to the girls' imaginations." "A cute reflection of girl-centric playtime, role play, and friendship." Thank you, Kirkus! DRESS LIKE A GIRL will be released on January 22, 2019. It is available for pre-order now through IndieBound, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.com. Here we go! My edits of DRESS LIKE A GIRL are done. Lorian Tu-Dean has worked magic with her brilliant illustrations. Now, it's off to be printed and ready for a January 22, 2019 release. I'm super-excited because the book's birthday is also my birthday - how cool is that?!
Matthew Winner was sweet to host a cover reveal for the book on his website. You can read all about it here. This may be the only time that I am excitedly awaiting the cold days of January!
