Well...do you notice anything new and spectacular about the blog? We want to thank our incredibly talented resident illustrator, Lori Nawyn, for the fabulous new header! We are so glad to embark upon this journey with you, and our little mascot's voyage symbolizes it well! Will you board the ReFoReMo boat with us?
As the February 15th ReFoReMo registration date nears, we'd like to create a buzz! With our passion for picture books and appreciation for this art form, what better way to ring in ReFoReMo 2016 than with singer/songwriter Emily Arrow? We all want kids to fall in love with our eventual works of art, as well, and Emily captures the heart of that through song. Let's encompass Emily's contagious spirit and enthusiasm through song as our event draws near!
Presenting...The Official ReFoReMo Song!

Let's kick ReFoReMo into gear with a sharing contest and some prizes! Anyone is welcome to share, but this round of prize drawings are open to US residents only. Sharing is all it takes to enter the drawings between the dates of January 19-February 2! As you know, the bigger the buzz, the more picture book writers we will inspire. Together we can transform writing for picture book writers and illustrators at any learning level. Great gains comes from reading the newest picture books on the market. That's a great thing to share!
