Are You My Monster? is on School Library Journal's Best Board Books of the Season: "Little ones will enjoy the parade of silly creatures he checks against his drawing, while also learning colors and matching. The sweet ending shows that even those with sharp teeth and scratchy claws can be cuddly, turning the monster-under-the-bed trope on its head." Thanks, SLJ!

November is a month when we think of family, friends and giving thanks. It is also picture book month. So I thought it was a good opportunity to highlight some authors that are part of my Flashlight Press family. Writers mostly work alone, but we cherish the relationships, even if they are only in cyberspace, we have with other authors. [ 102 more words ]

4th grade students at Marlton Elementary School in New Jersey surprised author Lori
Sunshine by painting huge copies of some of the images in I'm Really Not Tired.
Here are the students' paintings and Jeff Ebbeler's originals for comparison.

Thank you StoreyBook Reviews for the "5 paw" review of Pterodactyl Show and Tell!!
Synopsis When a boy brings his pterodactyl to school for show-and-tell, hilarious havoc ensues. The creature's delightfully demented antics, the kids' expressions as they try to avoid the hungry pterodactyl, and the out-of-control imagination of the boy yield a wild and wacky romp. Kids who dig dinosaurs will devour this preposterous pterodactyl tale written in rhyming couplets and teeming with edgy school-age humor and giggle-inducing illustrations. [ 155 more words ]

"Sofia’s refrigerator at home is always filled with plenty of food. That’s why she’s surprised when she reaches into her friend Maddi’s fridge for a snack – and finds it virtually empty. Embarrassed by her family’s poverty, Maddi asks Sofia to keep it a secret. But Sofia knows she needs to do something – and her comical attempts finally lead to a helpful solution. Based on an experience author Lois Brandt had as a child, “Maddi’s Fridge” teaches kids to take a proactive approach when it comes to generosity and fighting childhood hunger." Check out this great video of Lois Brandt Author and Vin Vogel Illustration receiving their Christopher Award for Maddi's Fridge.
