Goddess Girls giveaway: Medea the Enchantress!

Hi, I'm Joan Holub.

Since I'm a children's book author,

my giveaway in this blog hop is...books!

(always a great holiday gift)
3 entrants will be randomly chosen

to win an autographed copy of

Goddess Girls: Medea the Enchantress

Greek mythology with a middle school twist,

with books set at Mount Olympus Academy where Zeus is principal and classes include Hero-ology, taught by Mr. Cyclops.
Jason and Princess Medea are on a quest for the golden fleece that’s hanging from a great oak tree. But a huge serpent guards the fleece—and is one (scary!) barrier for them. Can they work their magic and take what is rightfully theirs?

Scripps National Spelling Bee Award for WW the Statue of Liberty!

From the folks at Scripps National Spelling Bee today:

I am pleased to inform you that What is the Statue of Liberty? has been chosen as a 2018 Great Words, Great Works title by the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The purpose of this list is to highlight books that introduce students to rich and varied spelling and vocabulary words in context.

This brought back memories of my spelling bee loss in 6th grade. Who knew "necessary" did not include a double cc (not me). :o)

A trip to New York City & books galore!

Just got back from visiting some of my favorite editors in New York. These are just some of the books I scored since I haven't fully unpacked yet. I was thrilled to get my hands on my first copy of my new picture book with James Dean -- Tool School -- while at Scholastic. I hadn't seen these little busy-builder tools yet in final hardcover form since it pubs in July, and it was saw, er, SO exciting! And lunch with Anna DiVito netted me her new book with Kathleen Krull, America's First Ladies. What an exciting day!

Tool School & Vampoodle in July

It's the first day of school for these busy-builder tools.

Tool School is my second book with the amazing James Dean.

(Mighty Dads was our first book.)

Vampoodle is the follow-up to Shampoodle

with Tim Bowers, who creates oodles of cute dogs!

Both publish one month from today, July 27, 2017.

Buy links are at my website.
