OK, the cat is out of the bag. I’m not the most organized person in the world. My daughter’s closet looks like Justice for Girls exploded and I store soda bottles and juice boxes on my kitchen floor. There. So now you know, when you visit my house, you must tiptoe around the towers of books because I never get them back on the shelves.
Mrs. Mozer brought to my attention that I featured every single one of her 3rd grade class’s monsters for The Monstore—except one. Alexander’s. I’m sorry, buddy! So without further ado, here is Alexander’s creation!
I’ve got just one question for Alexander—can I borrow your monster’s watch? I really need that thing.
As a children's book author and mother of two, I'm pushing a stroller along the path to publication. I collect shiny doodads on the journey and share them here. You've found a kidlit treasure box.

My teacher said we don’t have skype at our school 😦 but the owner of my local bookstore just got it and she said she was going to check your site out!

OK, lady–I REALLY wish I could get out there an help you now. Don’t think I got the chance to tell you at SCBWI NJ that my other job (a.k.a. my real job until I get a PB agent) is that I’m a professional home organizer. I have so many clients with that same “justice explosion” you mentioned that I am writing a PB about it now. Will have to share w/ you when I’m done–would love your feedback. Hang in there and EDIT and PURGE as often as you can (in all your free time–HA!).
