The Backstory: I SHIP: A CONTAINER SHIP'S COLOSSAL JOURNEY

I love the opportunity to feature debut authors. It brings me so much joy to help celebrate the momentous occasion of their first book baby. And today we have just such an author. Kelly Rice Schmitt is here with her debut picture book, I SHIP: A CONTAINER SHIP'S COLOSSAL JOURNEY (Lerner Books, 2023) with illustrations by Jam Dong. Keep reading to find out how this story came to be and for your chance to win either a copy of I SHIP or a non rhyming pb manuscript critique.
