Head on over to the Happy Birthday Author blog today! You won’t want to miss this incredible glow-in-the-dark monster craft!
Winner of the 2018 Irma S. Black Award and the SCBWI Crystal Kite!
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.

What a special dad Eric is! A man who is interested in fostering a love of books, celebrating authors, and doing art projects with his kids is a keeper!
And of course, it’s nice for you, Tara, to get such great press.
