Happy Book Birthday to my new #MGโ€”HOW TO WIN A SLIME WARโ€”out TODAY! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ It follows a creative, entrepreneurial, empathetic boy who finds himself + his community + his voice through a 6th grade slime war! Also: a #FilipinoAmerican market, soccer, STEM, & recipes! ๐Ÿ’š Quick๐Ÿงต 1/? Image
The story: Alex & his Dad move to a new city to help Alex's grandparents' struggling Asian market & he wants to stand out in his new schoolโ€”that's when he enters the slime war. Iโ€™m SO proud this book has a #FilipinoAmerican kid & loving family at its core. tinyurl.com/p4n88rrp
Sending so much gratitude to my editors Dana Carey & Wendy Lamb, agent @SarahGreenhouse & @RHCBEducators @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids for everything! Also to @nekokonut22 @KatDamkoehler for the joyful cover! This is me w Dana Careyโ€”back when maskless events still happened! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’š ImageImage
Okay, so my son asked me to include below in this thread. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The spark for HOW TO WIN A SLIME WAR started one summer when I found this glob in my fridge! He & his bffs got SO into slime (that's him below)... I found it EVERYWHERE. I kept a notebook & the story flew from there! ๐Ÿ’š ImageImage
Also sending my appreciation to every reader, teacher, librarian, parent, book lover + all you wonderful authors Iโ€™ve been so fortunate to connect with throughout each of my bookโ€™s journeysโ€”I โค๏ธ the #kidlit #mglit community! AND OH HEY, LOOK AT THIS SQUAD! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŽ‰ Image
HOW TO WIN A SLIME WAR is available at libraries & your fave indies, like #aapi owned @belcantobooks! If you enjoy the book, PLEASE leave a review online! It really makes a huge difference, esp to show retailers + publishers that readers WANT Books with #aapi main characters. ๐Ÿ’š Image
Goodbye for now from Slime Lady! (a.k.a. me during virtual school visits!) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Can't wait to share what's next but first... I collapse. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ Image
