I love her enthusiasm, positive outlook, and the support she has shown fellow members of the kidlit community over the years! I was excited to get a sneak peek of <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635829/goodnight-ganesha-by-nadia-salomon-illustrated-by-poonam-mistry/">GOODNIGHT GANESHA</a>, her debut as a picture book author. The bedtime story celebrates nigthtime rituals as two young children visit their grandparents in India. SUCH gorgeous illustrations by Poonam Mistry. Thanks to both Nadia and Poonam for answering some questions about the book as well as their advice for young writers and illustrators!</P></p> 1524 1525 <p class="journal-read-more-tag"><a href="/inkygirl-main/2021/8/11/pitmad-telugu-culture-and-kalamkari-art-goodnight-ganesha-in.html">Click to read more ...</a></p> 1526 1527 </div> 1528 1529 1530 1531 </div> 1532 1533 <div class="journal-entry-tag journal-entry-tag-post-body"> 1534 <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line1"><span class="posted-on"> <img title="Date" alt="Date" class="inline-icon date-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at 7:51 AM</span> | <span class="post-comments"><a href="/inkygirl-main/2021/8/11/pitmad-telugu-culture-and-kalamkari-art-goodnight-ganesha-in.html#comments"> <img title="Comment" alt="Comment" class="inline-icon comment-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Post a Comment</a></span> | <span class="email-item"><a href="/inkygirl-main/recommend/36368096"> <img title="Email Article" alt="Email Article" class="inline-icon email-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Email Article </a></span> | <span class="share-item"><a href="javascript:noop();" onclick="Squarespace.Interaction.shareLink(this,'%2Finkygirl-main%2F2021%2F8%2F11%2Fpitmad-telugu-culture-and-kalamkari-art-goodnight-ganesha-in.html','%23PitMad%2C%20Telugu%20Culture%20and%20Kalamkari%20Art%2C%20GOODNIGHT%20GANESHA%3A%20Interview%20with%20Nadia%20Salomon%20and%20Poonam%20Mistry');"> <img title="Share Article" alt="Share Article" class="inline-icon share-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Share Article </a></span> | <span class="permalink-item"><a class="permalink" href="/inkygirl-main/2021/8/11/pitmad-telugu-culture-and-kalamkari-art-goodnight-ganesha-in.html"> <img title="Permalink" alt="Permalink" class="inline-icon permalink-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Permalink </a></span> </div> 1535 <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line2"><span class="posted-by">by <a href="/inkygirl-main/author/inkygirl"> <img title="Author" alt="Author" class="inline-icon user-registered-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Debbie Ridpath Ohi</a></span> <span class="posted-in">in <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/category/advice-for-young-artists-and-young-write"> <img title="Category" alt="Category" class="inline-icon category-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Advice for young artists and young writers</a></span>, <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/category/inkygirl-interviews"> <img title="Category" alt="Category" class="inline-icon category-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Inkygirl Interviews</a></span></span> </div> 1536 <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line3"></div> 1537 </div> 1538 1539 1540 <div class="clearer"></div> 1541 1542</div> 1543</div> 1544 1545 1546 1547 1548 1549 1550 1551<div class="journal-entry-wrapper post-text authored-by-inkygirl "> 1552<div id="item36370046" class="journal-entry"> 1553 1554 <div class="journal-entry-float-day"><span class="name">Monday</span></div><div class="journal-entry-float-date"><span class="month">Jul</span><span class="date">12</span><span class="year">2021</span></div> 1555 1556 1557 1558 <div class="journal-entry-text"> 1559 1560 1561 <h2 class="title"> 1562 1563 1564 1565 <a class="journal-entry-navigation-current" href="/inkygirl-main/2021/7/12/graphic-novels-rpgs-and-advice-for-young-writer

She had no idea that this simple action would spark a conversation with her children about doing their part to keep the environment clean, which would inspire her literary debut, <em><a href="https://www.albertwhitman.com/book/the-big-beach-cleanup/">The Big Beach Cleanup</a></em>. 2534<p><em><a href="http://charlotteoffsay.com/the-big-beach-cleanup/">The Big Beach Cleanup</a></em><em> </em>follows Cora, a young girl excited to enter a sandcastle competition. When Cora learns that the fun has been cancelled because there is too much trash on the beach, she and her Mama get to work cleaning up. But they soon realize they can't do it alone.</p> 2535 2536 <p class="journal-read-more-tag"><a href="/inkygirl-main/2021/3/3/starting-big-changes-with-small-steps-charlotte-offsay-debut.html">Click to read more ...</a></p> 2537 2538 </div> 2539 2540 2541 2542 </div> 2543 2544 <div class="journal-entry-tag journal-entry-tag-post-body"> 2545 <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line1"><span class="posted-on"> <img title="Date" alt="Date" class="inline-icon date-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 10:48 AM</span> | <span class="post-comments"><a href="/inkygirl-main/2021/3/3/starting-big-changes-with-small-steps-charlotte-offsay-debut.html#comments"> <img title="Comment" alt="Comment" class="inline-icon comment-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Post a Comment</a></span> | <span class="email-item"><a href="/inkygirl-main/recommend/36316578"> <img title="Email Article" alt="Email Article" class="inline-icon email-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Email Article </a></span> | <span class="share-item"><a href="javascript:noop();" onclick="Squarespace.Interaction.shareLink(this,'%2Finkygirl-main%2F2021%2F3%2F3%2Fstarting-big-changes-with-small-steps-charlotte-offsay-debut.html','Starting%20Big%20Changes%20with%20Small%20Steps%3A%20Charlotte%20Offsay%20%28Debut%20PB%20Author%29%20and%20Illustrator%20Katie%20Rewse%20on%20THE%20BIG%20BEACH%20CLEANUP');"> <img title="Share Article" alt="Share Article" class="inline-icon share-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Share Article </a></span> | <span class="permalink-item"><a class="permalink" href="/inkygirl-main/2021/3/3/starting-big-changes-with-small-steps-charlotte-offsay-debut.html"> <img title="Permalink" alt="Permalink" class="inline-icon permalink-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Permalink </a></span> </div> 2546 <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line2"><span class="posted-by">by <a href="/inkygirl-main/author/inkygirl"> <img title="Author" alt="Author" class="inline-icon user-registered-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Debbie Ridpath Ohi</a></span> <span class="tagged-with">tagged <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/tag/advice"> <img title="Tag" alt="Tag" class="inline-icon tag-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />advice</a></span>, <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/tag/debut"> <img title="Tag" alt="Tag" class="inline-icon tag-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />debut</a></span>, <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/tag/interview"> <img title="Tag" alt="Tag" class="inline-icon tag-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />interview</a></span>, <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/tag/pbcreation"> <img title="Tag" alt="Tag" class="inline-icon tag-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />pbcreation</a></span></span> <span class="posted-in">in <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/category/advice-for-young-artists-and-young-write"> <img title="Category" alt="Category" class="inline-icon category-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Advice for young artists and young writers</a></span>, <span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="/inkygirl-main/category/business-of-writing"> <img title="Category" alt="Category" class="inline-icon category-icon" rel="dark" src="/universal/images/transparent.png" />Business of writing</a></span>, <span class="tag-element">
