Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Everyone!
Coincidentally, it is also Perfect Picture Book Friday! How serendipitous!
And what do I have for you? An absolutely fabulous picture book that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with St. Patrick’s Day! It doesn’t even feature true green on the cover.

I love Tuesdays!
It’s the day all the new picture books are released each week, and it’s the day we get to meet new authors as they present their first books to the world for the first time.
What could be better? 😊

Welcome to today’s episode of Tuesday Debut, brought to you by the 8th Annual Valentiny Writing Contest where with any luck you’ll be able to vote for finalists sometime in the next couple days!

February is always a tricky month!
For starters, it’s February and has only 28 days.
Add to that the Valentiny Contest (which opens the day after tomorrow! get ready for fun!), and it means I don’t get a lot of Perfect Picture Book Fridays during Black History Month.

Welcome to Tuesday Debut!
After a week with a picture book collective talking about how they help each other promote their debut (and subsequent) books, and a week with a debut business that can be a huge help to us as writers, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming!
I’m delighted to introduce debut picture book author Amanda Henke, and her all-kinds-of-fun picture book, NOT A BOOK ABOUT BUNNIES (which, I have to tell you, had me at the title! 😊)
