Often parades are associated with the summer season. The approach of Memorial Day made me think about the small towns across the country that will be canceling their traditional parade. Recently, a talented author from my writing group published her first picture book. Guess what? It’s all about parades.

Andrea Denish is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). Andrea was already a member of our SCBWI writing group when I joined in September of 2016. I’ve been privileged to witness the birth of her first published book, Everyone Loves A Parade. From it’s inception through the entire publication process, our group supported and celebrated this endeavor. I am delighted to share that Andrea has agreed to write a guest post for this blog in the near future.

In the meantime, in this summer of no parades, perhaps Andrea’s book will help fill the void and spark joyful memories. This book is available at online retailers – Amazon, B&N, Indiebound. You can check out Andrea Denish’s website at www.andreadenish.com

Happy Memorial Day to all!
