My friend Joanne Rocklin’s new middle-grade book, Love, Penelope, with illustrations by Lucy Knisley, is now available!
The book’s heroine, eleven-year old Penny, writes letters to her unborn sibling during the 2014-2015 Golden State Warriors winning season. Her year of diary entries also covers the months leading to the 2015 Supreme Court decision which lifted same-sex marriage bans nationwide.
I have learned so much about writing for children from Joanne. Like Penny, I am also a die-hard Warriors fan and could not help but cheer her on, page by page. Go Dubs!!
