Here's the announcement in Publisher's lunch:

Children's: Middle grade
Psychologist Eileen Kennedy-Moore and journalist Christine McLaughlin's GROWING FRIENDSHIPS, the funny and practical guide to friendships, providing an in-depth roadmap for kids, teaching skills that will help them both make friends and keep them, to Nicole Geiger at Beyond Words, by Stefanie Von Borstel and Taylor Martindale Kean at Full Circle Literary.




Beyond Words is a division of Simon & Schuster, so I'll also be listed on their speaker's bureau! I'm so grateful to my wonderful kids' books agents!

I'm just bursting with excitement! The book is all written, but it won't come out until Summer 2017, because it will be heavily illustrated. I don't know how I'm going to wait two years to have the book in my hands! Oh, well. It gives me plenty of time to work on setting up marketing efforts...

That's one of the fun things about studying and writing about friendship: It's definitely a topic for lifelong learning!

WOW!! Congratulations! I am working on a children's story about siblings. I am a teacher, and I am always looking for work that helps kids figure out how to get along.
