Confetti Moments

What a treat it was to be able to chat with this dynamic duo who brought us All Are Welcome. Today we will be talking about their newest book, All Are Neighbors. These women are as enthusiastic about picture books as I am, and it was an honor to get to know them better. You can connect with Alex on Instagram and her website. You can connect with Suzanne on Instagram and her website. 

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie Murphy to talk about her new book, Jackie and the Mona Lisa. It is about Jackie Kennedy and her love of the arts and how she encouraged a country to learn more about the arts. It is a unique biography picture book that I know you will love. You can connect with Debbie through her website and Instagram. 

This week I enjoyed getting to know Nick Solis. He is the author of My Town/Mi Pueblo which is a bilingual picture book about cousins from opposite sides of the border who visit each other’s towns and delight in their similarities and differences. I hope you enjoy our conversation.  You can connect with Nick on Instagram and his webpage. 

In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with author and illustrator Heidi Woodward Sheffield. She is the author/illustrator of Brick by Brick for which she won the 2021 Ezra Jack Keats Illustrator Award. Brick by Brick is a book that celebrates the warm bond between a little boy and his dad as they work hard to achieve their dreams.  You can find Heidi on Instagram and her webpage

This week I had the pleasure of talking with author Angela Burke Kunkel who is the author of Digging for Words. This book is based on the life of José Alberto Gutiérrez, a garbage collector in Bogotá, Colombia who started a library with a single discarded book found on his route. I hope you enjoy this conversation. You can connect with Angela on Instagram and her webpage.
