I am filled with gratitude today to my wonderful editor, Marye Elmlinger, gifted illustrator, Nancy Kincade, my critique group, beta readers, the SWI community and my friends and family who have encouraged me every step of the journey! My debut picture book, Stanley and the Wild Words is here!

I hope that my book, as Nora commented, does indeed make spelling fun. Is there a word whose spelling makes no sense to you or your child or student? Do you have a favorite word? Let me know in the comments.
