🎉📚😍 A big heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the @bookmarksncfestival this past sunshiny weekend to shop, schmooze with authors, chat and buy signed books! This was my first time as an exhibitor at the festival and it couldn’t have been a better experience! I had a BLAST sharing my books with enthusiastic readers of all ages! And I was SO lucky to be surrounded by kind, talented fellow kidlit authors:

❤️💗🖤 It was the experience of a lifetime to see Yayoi Kusama's exhibition at the Broad Museum in Los Angeles once upon a time. RIP.

🎉📚🤖 Kirkus has reviewed SPACE BOT: MISSION EARTH and they have ALL awesome things to say:

"This is a sweet story with comic book-style illustrations...robotic-styled font is a charming touch that evokes the robot's analytical thinking...strongest element is Smith's prose, which captures the children's compassion...an endearing affirmation of human warmth."
—Kirkus Reviews

VERDICT: Get it! 🤗
