1523<p>I met Nadia Salomon through the SCBWI and am also familiar with her online. 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>

1737<p><strong><em>By <a href="https://www.inkygirl.com/about-sara/">Sara Truuvert</a></em></strong></p>
1738<p>When your novel is deemed <a href="http://www.victorpineiro.com/author">"the greatest idea for a book ever"</a>, you're probably on to something. That certainly seems to be the case for debut author <strong><a href="http://www.victorpineiro.com/">Victor Pi&ntilde;eiro</a>,</strong>&nbsp;whose novel <em><a href="http://www.victorpineiro.com/author">Time Villains</a>&nbsp;</em>has garnered&nbsp;a <a href="https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/victor-pineiro/time-villains/">starred review</a> from Kirkus and a spot as an <a href="https://twitter.com/victorpineiro/status/1411018392933437441/photo/1">Amazon Best Book of the Month</a>.&nbsp;The book&nbsp;promises time-hopping high jinx, historic and literary Easter eggs, and even some one-sentence Puerto Rican recipes.</p>
1739<p><em>Time Villains</em> follows sandwich-obsessed Javi Santiago, who has to nail his homework assignment if he wants to pass sixth grade. The assignment seems simple enough: if you could invite any three people to dinner, who would they be? Plus, Javi has his best friend Wiki and little sister Brady to help him. What could go wrong? Turns out, a lot...</p>

2094<p><strong><em>By <a href="https://www.inkygirl.com/about-sara/">Sara Truuvert</a></em></strong></p>
2095<p>Sweaty palms, shaking limbs, and the distinct possibility of puking. Am I describing riding a rollercoaster or having a crush in middle school? These two thrill rides collide in&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.jakewhosagirl.com/">Jake Maia Arlow's</a></strong>&nbsp;MG debut <em><a href="https://www.jakewhosagirl.com/preorder-almost-flying">Almost Flying</a></em>.</p>
2096<p>The novel follows thirteen-year-old Dalia, who has planned the perfect summer: finally ride a rollercoaster and make a new best friend. But when Dalia realizes she might have more-than-friend feelings for the new girl on her swim team, Rani, things start to get complicated.</p>

2460<p><strong><a href="https://www.moyuksel.com/">M.O. Yuksel</a></strong> never imagined she would be an author, but that changed when she was asked to read to her son's preschool class a picture book about a Muslim holiday. Unable to find such a book suited to her son's age group, she decided to write one herself, launching her journey to authorship. After years of writing and rejection, M.O. published&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.moyuksel.com/">In My Mosque</a></em>, her literary debut.&nbsp;</p>
2461<p><em><a href="https://www.moyuksel.com/">In My Mosque</a></em> celebrates the diversity, traditions, and joy we can find in mosques around the world. It serves as a beautiful introduction to Muslims and Islam and reminds us that mosques are welcoming centres for community and love.</p>

2532<p><strong><em>By <a href="https://www.inkygirl.com/about-sara/">Sara Truuvert</a></em></strong></p>
2533<p>One morning, when she was walking her young children to school, <strong><a href="http://charlotteoffsay.com">Charlotte Offsay</a></strong> picked up a piece of trash and threw it in a nearby garbage can. 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>&nbsp;</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>

A <a href="https://www.juniorlibraryguild.com/how-jlg-works/">Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection</a> and <a href="https://www.bookweb.org/news/winter-2020-2021-kids-indie-next-list-preview-578578">Kids' IndieNext Pick</a>, the novel has garnered <a href="https://www.chrystaldgiles.com/books">praise</a> from numerous authors and a <a href="https://www.slj.com/?reviewDetail=take-back-the-block">starred review from <em>School Library Journal</em></a>.&nbsp;</p>
2757<p><em>Take Back the Block </em>follows Wes, a funny, stylish sixth-grader who finds himself thrown into a movement to save his community from a powerful developer.</p></p>
