I’m Not Crying, Rebekah! You’re Crying!

Okay – for real – it is not my intention to make this blog a place where I only post positive reviews of my work (courses, books, whatever).

Happy Book-iversary, Fernando

Four years ago (as of December 3rd), I published my first children’s book, Fernando Learns About Asking. When you are making a children’s book, you don’t know what you don’t know.
