This week at the National Writing for Children Center

The National Writing for Children Center is a showcase for children's book authors and illustrators.
Each month we showcase up to 12 authors and/or illustrators to let children, parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, and others interested in the world of children's literature know about these artists' wonderful new children's books.
Authors and illustrators who are interested in being showcased at the National Writing for Children Center should visit our Showcase Application page for a complete list of all the promotional activities included in our monthly showcase.
