Beautiful interview with librarian, Mary Lanni, about how a book is created, how it becomes a Dolly Parton Imagination Library pick, and how books inspire friendships and friendship inspires books. #kidlit #library #librarian #whenyouloveabook youtu.be/Oi9JbJHEZBY?...

Ever wonder why authors & illustrators dedicate their books the way they do? @heatherbrockmanlee.bsky.social and I answer that question on "This One's Dedicated To" featuring our book, "When You Love a Book." #whenyouloveabook #kidlit #kidsbooks youtu.be/zWM3L4FYHLk?...
