Holy Charlie Buckets, everyone! There were 90 entries in the picture book critique giveaway. What an enthusiastic response!
Random.org picked #57…and that means…
ROSE MARSH
…is the winner!
Rose, be on the lookout for an email from me.
Thanks to everyone who entered! I’ll be sure to host another critique giveaway soon, so be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already.
And now the consolation prize: a little chuckle. I think my daughter drew me so well for her Mother’s Day Gazette—a striking resemblance, don’tchathink? (OK, this is a terrible consolation prize. But since this blog is “Writing for Kids (While Raising Them)” I gotta stuff some kiddo stuff in every once in a while.)

Congratulations, Rose!
I think the consolation prize is fantastic! I didn’t quite get around to entering this time, but I still get to share the chuckle.
Tara – your post about random acts of kindness have made me notice and feel much more grateful for all the advice, encouragement and inspiration I get from authors who are further down the track than me. Thank you!
