    Brooke,
    Thank-you for sharing your author journey. It’s very relatable and validating. I have published my 1st book because of Karen Ferreira and her team. Hearing the information from another perspective is enlightening. At this stage, I feel I can take in the information at a deeper level because I have experienced many of the things you mentioned and from information gleaned from Children’s Book Mastery. I especially enjoyed your 3 tips on creating publishing worthy of a child’s bookshelf. Tip #3 is crucial for authors, as it’s often outside our comfort zone.
