edit data

As the second of eight children and the mother of four, Veronica Bartles is no stranger to the ups and downs of sibling relationships. (She was sandwiched between the gorgeous-and-insanely-popular older sister and the too-adorable-for-words younger sister.) She uses this insight to write stories about siblings who mostly love each other, even while they’re driving one another crazy. When she isn’t writing or getting lost in the pages of her newest favorite book, Veronica enjoys knitting fabulous bags and jewelry out of recycled plastic bags and old VHS tapes, sky diving (though she hasn’t actually tried that yet), and inventing the world’s most delectable cookie recipes.

On Being Brave: KidLit Confections Brookies

(The recipe, including a link to the index of printable PDF files, can be found at the bottom of this post.)I recently read a cute, little picture book, PEG GETS PLUCKY by Jo Renfro. This is such a cute story about a very relatable feeling. Peg wants to go on an adventure with her friends, but soon gets overwhelmed with doubt and discouragement. I know this feeling all too well (and I'm sure you
