Bianca,
What a delight to have a website to turn to when needing the scoop on new books. I worked for a children’s book wholesale company before I “went back to school” as an elementary school librarian and I really miss getting to see the galleys and seeing all the new books coming out. I appreciate the emails and getting to see what’s up and coming and seeing new titles from “old friends.”
Thanks for your incredibly KIND words! I’m thrilled that you enjoy TCBR.
