12.01.2022 Lolas big day is tomorrow! Shes a great read for girls 9-12. Lolas figuring out how to captain her team to the State Finals, how to live with Type 1 diabetes, and maybe hardest of all, how to get on with her squabbling friends. www.cecilypaterson.com/lola-launch-page
12.01.2022 Just in case I havent been yelling loudly enough, its launch day for my little book, Lola in the Middle. Happily, shes been the most successful book to date,... being picked up by two school library distributors (so if your kids bring her home from school, thats the reason.) Id like to give a big shoutout to Rochelle from Wombat Books for believing in her, and for getting her to look so fantastic. Also a shoutout to supportive friends and family (you know who you are). Also a shoutout to every kid whos ever emailed me to say I loved your book. Please keep writing. You have no idea how important those emails are for a writer on her own working in her laundry/office every day. Whats a launch? Kinda like a birthday party for a book. The party for this one is basically all on social media. Ill post bits and pieces over the day so turn me off briefly if youre already sick of bookish stuff. Otherwise, theres more stuff to come. Get a copy of this little darling at www.cecilypaterson.com/lola-launch-page
