Welcome to Show and Tell, where your fan favorites and #kidlit authors & illustrators share their kindergarten pictures and a kinder memory each #tbt.
This week’s sweet Kinder grew up to be Early Childhood Education professor and
picture book author
JaNay Brown-Wood.
JaNay is the author of IMANI’S MOON, illustrated by Hazel Mitchell (Charlesbridge).
Her newest picture book will be released with Charlesbridge this August:
GRANDMA’S TINY HOUSE: A Counting Story
illustrated by Priscilla Burris.
A *Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW*
“A warmhearted tribute to the messy joys of a big, impromptu gathering.”
KIRKUS says:
“Grandma’s lucky to have all these family members, and young readers are even luckier to be invited to this wonderful family gathering.”
JaNay’s Kindergarten memory is about her IMAGINARY FRIEND:
I’ve always had a BIG imagination. Even way back in Kindergarten. I remember having an imaginary friend whose hand I would hold, and the two of us would run around the playground and go on elaborate adventures together. And we’d always have so much fun together! Good times!
PARENTS: Does your little one have an Imaginary Friend? Who knows? Maybe that vivid imagination will be the start of a picture book career some day!
Thank you, JaNay, for sharing your Kindergarten Show and Tell.
