Hi, Catalina. Thanks for the note. I AGREE! I’m trying to find some great new children’s books to feature here and on my FB page. p.s. I still read them, children’s books that is. Not only my own… Also, I try to encourage my readers to read to and with the children in their lives or communities. Have a great day! Bette
