I wrote an article with my tips for writing a children’s book. I’m often asked this question, so I thought I’d put it all in a blog post. #kidlit #booksky www.marianallanos.com/single-post/...

Here’s a reminder that not because someone speaks in Spanish it means that they can be a translator or copyeditor. There are so many nuances to consider when one is translating. Also, knowledge of the craft and industry is a must! Hit me up if you have any translation projects.

My #FathersDay post is WAY too late but here it goes: Meet Patrick,Vampirita’s dad, or Father as she calls him. He’s kind, understanding and most important: he is present, even if her parents are divorced. Happy Father’s Day to all dads who are like Patrick! #booksky #earlymg #kidlit #ReycraftBooks

One of the coolest things that can happen to an author is to see their book turned into a storywalk and be able to see families enjoy it in real time!! So grateful to #Oxford Lane Library in #Ohio for turning my book into a magical experience. ❤️❤️❤️ #booksky #bookish #librarian
