Updates


*I've blogged about Ruby Lu, Brave and True, an early chapter book written by Lenore Look and illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf, over at Color Online. Click here to read the post.

I loved Ruby Lu, Brave and True so much that I read it twice in a row. I just bought the sequel Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything, so expect me to blog about it at Color Online next week. :o)


*I've been given a Sunshine Award by Megumi Lemons of Goomie's World. "The Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspire others in the blogging world." Thank you, Megumi!

Megumi is an illustrator and you should all check out her work here.



*I will be in Singapore from May 5 to May 9 to attend the very first Asian Festival of Children's Content. Expect blog posts from me about the festival. I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Let me know if you are going to the festival too. :o)
