      Hi Bianca,
      I enjoyed visiting your site and wondering how I could get my new Children’s book reviewed by you.
      It is very time-appropriate, as it is based on the premise of depicting hand hygiene and cleanliness in the form of germ-fighting animal superheroes.
      I’d like you to please review and recommend it if you like. It’ll be available on Amazon shortly in eBook and paperback format. Please contact me if interested in reviewing.
      Thank you.
