I love that every hardcover in this series features a full-size poster...and kids love it, too!!

I want to be a light. And this week I was reminded that I am a light. And that it always begins at home and in community. When I first thought about it, I was thinking of my family and local town. But it's also you. My online community. I hope you see me as a light.

Happy #nationaldonutday! In my book The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion, I shared a recipe for self-turning doughnuts like Mother Wilder made in Farmer Boy. Here's the recipe! wildercompanion.com/2019/06/old-fa… #NationalDoughnutDay

If you're curious about the bookmaking process, Rebecca shares about the excitement of first pass pages!

This morning I wrote 989 words. Not bad for this children's nonfiction author on a Saturday morning. But it's Saturday. Time to do things with and for my family.

Are you a #kidlit author who wants to visit schools? There's a lot to think about. Here are some tips to get started. annettewhipple.com/2023/10/7-step…

I'm heading to #Tennessee in November! While there, I'd love to meet your students! If you're even the least bit interested in an author visit, let me know! I'll be at the Tennessee Literacy Conference (11/21-23) and available for author visits the week before. Literacy Association of Tennessee

Agents and editors are real people and passionate about their jobs!

I'm a writer, but I don't write in a bubble. Over the years, I've connected with other writers, editors, and agents through social media, community events, and conferences. One of my writer friends just let me know their book is going to acquisitions! It's a #writingcommunity!

Before you submit (or self-publish), be sure to attend a writing conference. You don't know what you don't know. More tips>> annettewhipple.com/2024/11/10-tip… #writingcommunity #kidlit

Such a recommendation! Thank you! Tyndale House

I hope and pray my children's nonfiction animal and nature books are more about how incredible this world is instead of doom and gloom!

THIS is what I love to hear about The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion: A Chapter-by-Chapter Guide! I wanted it to be an incredible resource for fans of #LittleHouse!

I can't believe it's been 19 years since I've been in the classroom. I still consider myself a teacher. But it's been TWO DECADES! Well, it's a good thing I have author visits, educator conferences, and writing conferences to keep the love of teaching alive!

Today's weird research: Barley and hops. I don't even drink beer!
