Yay! It’s #debutcrew2024 time again!
My debut picture book 🐦 🏊⛱ is getting closer - eek I just booked in my launch for Saturday October 26th 😅
But for now it’s 🤸🤸🤸 and huge congratulations to the next three of us who are officially published authors and this month it is all #kidlit 🤗 So make a young person in your life extra happy by looking out for these gorgeous books in your bookstore or requesting a copy for your library.
(Strictly speaking it’s two new debuts because Bec is a 2024 double-book-debut-superstar and this is her second book this year!)

📓 THE BOOK STAR
@becnanayakkara @joanna_emily_illustrates @affirmpress
Grace owns thirty-seven books about space, and she’s read them all. So when her teacher announces a class Book Party, Grace has heaps of space-themed costume ideas! But when her friends say that space is boring and weird, suddenly Grace isn’t so sure. A stunning story about finding what makes you happy and staying true to yourself ⭐️
