My New Children's Book

I feel like the new year has just begun and now February is right around the corner. As with many of you, I have a growing list of "To Dos" and "Bucket List" items that I would love to check off as being done. With that being said, I am excited to share with you one thing that I am able to say is coming soon.

My first children's book, Extraordinary Annie, is scheduled to be released on February 10! This is one pursuit that I've been involved with for a few years now. As a Media Specialist at an elementary school I began to notice the need for books that helped to teach antonyms, but on a higher level than just "up-down" and "hot-cold". I wanted to write a book that older students could read and teachers could use in the classroom teaching many different skills all with the same text. And with this...my journey began.

And so, here I am today writing this blog, not able to fully anticipate the future, but going along for the ride, none-the-less. I am truly thankful for all of the support I have received from my dear family and friends through this endeavor.

I have several companion worksheets and lesson ideas for teachers and parents to use with the book. Stay tuned for free materials to be shared on this blog.

Let me leave you with a final thought...what are going to mark off of your Bucket List this year? Let me reassure you that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, just don't give up.
