Here are nine 2022 titles, fresh off the printing press, in children's literary...each perfect, I am sure!
As a former school librarian, I still enjoy doing reviews on new children's literature. I marvel at the work of authors and illustrators and publishing companies that provide great reading materials for the young.
Before I start to read and review these on GoodReads, I thought I would make a poem of the titles. I called it Day Dreaming....
DAY DREAMING
Somewhere
Love in the Library
Loujain Dreams of Sunflowers
I AM Golden
I AM Thinking My Life
The Treasure Box
All from a Walnut
Love, Violet
Goodnight

Just a bit of artwork as I settle home and unwind from a six-month family caregiver trip. How different to switch from an old computer back to my newer home computer with the state of the art Photo Shop tools. Confusing!!!
The Tennessee Valley picture was snapped as we drove I 24 in the fog. I painted the sun on a phone app, added some wildflowers, and then applied texture using a rusted cookie sheet. How's that for wild and crazy photo editing! I could probably not re-create this image!
Here is my framing piece. Feel free to use, and post here! flic.kr/p/2jEq8s8

March 22 - A well orchestrated trip, except for the temperature! The photo shoot was planned for 9:00 p.m. to insure the blue lights were on. It was 27 degrees with a wind speed of 15mph. That's cold.
Our mission was a senior photo shoot. We walked almost a mile on the High Trestle Trail between Madrid and Woodward, Iowa! There was a mom, the senior boy, and me! To my Cannon, I said......"Please, don't let me down!" Without tripod, I had to keep a steady hand. When I took my gloves off, I couldn't feel the button to snap the pictures! We had a fun time even though we nearly froze! Right as the photo shoot began, he shed his outer coat, gloves, and cap - down to a white shirt and jeans, perfect for the neon glow! Though the chill quickly set in, he kept smiling for the camera! He was polite as my camera often took too long to click!
We made a good couple dozen pictures. He definitely looked "cool" blue and was happy with the results!!! Mission accomplished!!! We agreed this was a photo shoot best meant for summer.
Oh, by the way, there's a part one to this story! These lights go out shortly after 10 p.m. How do we know? We learned it the hard way, two nights earlier, on photo shoot attempt number one. At sunset we walked to the bridge, took some great sunset pictures, and decided to return to the bridge at dark for a blue lights' photo shoot. We left the bridge and proceeded to have dinner in the local town! Just before 10 pm, we came back, trek number two! At exactly 10:11, we did a test shot! All systems, "GO!" The picture was perfect! As we began his senior photo shoot, the lights went out! Bummer! And so, determined to get this done, we planned the THIRD trek to the bridge in two nights -- no matter how cold!! And that it was!
Hummm, three round-trip walks for this one senior photo shoot equalled about 4 1/2 miles!
