Blog Tour Stop 4: Celebrating Family Traditions with Linda Mitchell

March 7, 2018 By Laura

Hello, Kidlitosphere!  (If it’s not clear, that’s supposed to sound like someone on stage yelling, “Hello, Minneapolis!”–but fill in your own city!)
 
Today is Stop 4 on my Meet My Family  blog tour!
 
I’m visiting Linda Mitchell today at A Word Edgewise, to celebrate family traditions. (You might know Linda as a big-hearted presence here on 15 Words or Less Thursdays!) This book is a celebration of families of all kinds! Even with my family’s oddness and anti-social-ness, I do have some great childhood memories. I’m sharing one of our holiday traditions, and Linda is talking about a wonderful adoption day tradition in her family. Look at that beautiful family picture of hers–a family knitted together by love more than blood. I hope you’ll stop by to read and perhaps share one of your own treasured family traditions. Especially since Linda posted today to accommodate me, even though I had misunderstood something about the schedule!
 
And here are the first 3 stops, in case you missed them!

JANUARY NEWS

I loved the holidays! And I'm so glad they're over. A quiet, snowy January is just what I need. This month, I'm working on two board book manuscripts, and I'm making materials to go with my 3 spring 2023 books.

I'm also busy prepping for upcoming author visits and setting my goals and priorities for 2023. Wishing you a lovely start to your own new year!
