Yesterday at the Michigan State Fair was such a fun reminder of just how much talent we have right here in Michigan.

Huge shoutout to Lindsay and Renee with A Pop of Indie for bringing so many independent Michigan children’s book authors together, creating opportunities for our books to reach new families, and building such a supportive community around indie publishing.

There’s something pretty special about seeing all of these stories, authors, and books together in one place — and knowing they were created right here in our own state.

So grateful to have been a little part of it!

And the first 20 families at my presentation will receive a FREE copy of the book!

📕Imagine That!
By Renee Bolla
Illustrated by Ellie I. Beykzadeh

Emma was a fearless little girl…until bedtime. In the dark, she imagined all types of things in her room that weren’t really there. This might sound familiar if you have a little one… or perhaps it used to be you. But, Emma taught us all a valuable lesson: Since it’s your own imagination, you could just imagine what you want… like spiders in tutus!

Comment UNAFRAID if your little one has a hard time when the lights go down and you need this book to help with that.

📕The Truth About Stepmoms
By Renee Bolla
Illustrated by Jack Button

I love how this story changes the narrative on stepmoms. Because of fairytales, stepmoms get a bad rep. This book takes you through a journey of different emotions and shares a beautiful message. And not to mention, what a FUN read!

Comment FAMILY if you or your child could relate to this story and would like the link to this book.
