  1. Hello, I hope you are well. I’d love for AALBC to consider reviewing my recently released picture book, Peaches. Please find requested details below. Thanks for considering! Gabriele Davis PEACHES by Gabriele Davis, illustrated by Kim Holt Publication Date: May 7, 2024 Abrams Books for Young Readers ISBN 978-1419757372 Hardcover Picture Book, 40 pages Synopsis Side by side with Daddy and Grandma, a young girl is determined to take part in her family’s tradition of baking the perfect peach cobbler just like Mama used to. From picking peaches, to stirring and mixing, to kneading the dough, it's a little bit messy. But with sure hands to guide her and her mother's memory hanging sweet in the air, she has the recipe to make Mama proud. This warmhearted and hopeful picture book shows that with a house full of love, everything can feel peach-perfect.
  2. I just popped in briefly. Good to know you are ok. @Pioneer1 I'm also very busy lately.
  3. Hi Dee that clearly is not true, as there would be entire genres that would not exist if that were. Now if you are writing about the real world (people, places, and things) it is helpful to know something about the subject otherwise your story will ring false to readers who know something the subject. Sure, story telling is an art and it requires skill. Some people are naturally better that others at doing it.
