Dear friends, Tonight I’ll be joining a Facebook reading group of kids and adults to do a live bedtime reading. It starts at 6:00 Eastern. Hope you’ll join me with an adult’s permission. See you, Debbie
Hey guys, hope you’ll join me every Friday this month on YouTube Live at 2:00 Eastern as I read aloud. This week I’ll read from Martians Don’t Take Temperatures in honor of all the hard work health care workers are doing around the world. If you have a story you’d like me to read next week, let me know on Kid’s Talk.
Dear Kazhe, I think a lot of kids and teachers are The Winter Princessmissing school right now! You are not alone! I hope you are having fun making safe videos. Here’s my most recent book trailer attempt for The Winter Princess. I have a lot to learn!
Harmony, thanks for your prayers. Sometimes it is hard to stay positive with so much happening in the world that isn’t positive. I’m lucky I have faith to fall back on. I believe it is important to try to take joy from the good things in our life every day. Here’s wishing you and anyone reading this some joy this day, Debbie
Dear Shirley, It is great to hear from you. I’m happy that you like Kiki. She likes to read, just like me! Bottlenose dolphins are pretty cool, aren’t they? I love learning new things about ocean creatures. Do you know very much about dolphins? Did you know they are a type of whale?
Guess what? I’m reading from Kiki’s newest book today on YouTube Live at 2:00 Eastern. Hope you’ll join me. Stay home and stay safe, Debbie
Dear Harmony, I wake up every morning thankful that I The Lost Princess(and my family) are well. I hope everyone you know is well too. Thanks for thinking of me. I will keep you in my prayers.
Kayla, I like dolphins too! I am delighted that you enjoy the Mermaid Tales stories. Do you have a favorite?
Valentina, what do you think Kiki would tell us about our future right now? I am hoping it would be good news! Guess what? When I took the Which kind of Mermaid are you? quiz, I was Echo! Stay home and stay safe.
Happy birthday Ashley C! Your friend, Debbie
Dear Carter, I’m glad you like the Bailey School Kids books. The original covers and interior artwork were done by Ghosts Don’t Eat Potato ChipsJohn Steven Gurney. The newer covers are by Nathan Hale. I will actually be doing two live readings today. The first one, at 9:00 am Eastern, will be the end of Marty the Mudwrestler on FacebookLive. I read the rest of the book earlier this week and the videos are in my author Facebook video library.
But this afternoon I have a request to read from Ghosts Don’t Eat Potato Chips on YouTubeLive at 2:00 Eastern. I hope you’ll join me. Let me know if you have another book you’d like me to read next Friday at the same time. Happy reading, Debbie
Dear Carolyn, I am like you. I like all the Mermaid Tales The Narwhal Problemcharacters. Parts of each of them are a bit like me.
Valentina, the newest book with Kiki in it is The Narwhal Problem. I like to read regular books the best, but I have been reading a lot of ebooks lately on my Kindle. It’s an old one, but it still works! The Mermaid Tales books are available as ebooks. I know dealing is Covid-19 is tough. Imagine the stories you will have to tell when you are older! Please stay home and stay safe. You might even want to check out some of the activities here. I will be reading again this morning at 9:00 Eastern on Facebook Live. Have fun, Debbie
Dear Evie and Susan, I am glad you like Mermaid Tales. The Bailey School Kids are on the same level. My harder books are The Keyholders, Whistler’s Hollow, Cherokee Sister, and King of the Kooties.
Valentina, I’m happy you like Kiki. She is very concerned about pollution in the environment. Do you Join Debbie as she reads aloud and has some carnival fun.have a favorite book of hers? Harmony, it is always great to hear from you. Stay safe my friends. We can do this by staying home! Happy 50th Earth Day, Debbie P.S. I hope you’ll join me as I read aloud from Marty the Mudwrestler today on FacebookLive. You can watch later as well.
Dear Alexa, I am SO GLAD you are not sick! Please do something you enjoy today to make yourself feel better. What do YOU like to do? God bless, Debbie
Dear Kazhe, I am safe and healthy. I hope you and your family are as well. This is a crazy time, but reading is helping me relax. I hope it does you as well. In fact, every day this week (National Library Week), I am reading aloud from my book, Marty the Mudwrestler on FacebookLive. It is live at 9:00 am Eastern, but available in my Facebook author page video library for playback. I hope an adult will share it with you.
Suzy, movies help me relax as well. Have you ever read or seen The Little Princess? I like it a lot and your story reminds me of it a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Sam, no one knows the time or the place. I believe we must always be the best we can be to be prepared, Debbie
