Hello!
Happy summer my readers! Thanks so much for stopping by my website. I hope you’re having a summer full of water and sun and writing and reading.
I want to tell you about a project that I’ve been working on with my friend Meg Medina, the author of two great books: Milagros Girl from Away and Tia Isa Wants a Car. Meg and I both love to write for and about strong girls. And we LOVE to read about strong girls, too.
Long summer days are made for reading, so we’ve compiled a list of 18 of our favorite amazing books for amazing girls. We’ve pulled all these books together on one website – www.girlsofsummerlist.wordpress.com, with info about each book, audio clips, and author interviews. Of course, you probably have your favorite books for girls, too! I hope you’ll find some new ones on Girls of Summer and tell us about those we’ve missed.
Also, a special shout-out to the Hoofbeats Book Club in Douglas County, Colorado. I enjoyed my virtual visit with y’all! Thanks for the beautiful drawing of Chancey and Claire and the great horse-talk!
Good luck everybody with your riding reading! Happy trails this summer,
Gigi
