E230: Celebrating Movement & Freedom: ON OUR BIKES by Dan Saks

Happy Monday!

In upstate New York, summer feels like it has arrived! The weather is warmer, the days are longer and there’s more time for reading books we love. I’ve had a couple of listeners/readers reach out to ask if I’m offering any summer book clubs, writing sessions or other KidLit fun and I have thought about a few ideas that I’d love your feedback on. Could you take a moment to respond to this poll?

Thanks for your support and feedback. Let’s see what happens next!

Happy reading!
