**UPDATE** The giveaway is now closed.
My heart is so full after reading all the messages for the Peek-A-Boo book giveaway. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for entering the giveaway, for your support and your kind words. Every single entry was incredible and I was sad to pick only 3 so I decided to add 3 more bonus winners! YAY!

Thanks again everyone for entering! I'll be contacting winners soon for their mailing address.

************************
My latest board book PEEK-A-BOO FARM, a follow-up to PEEK-A-BOO ZOO, is out today!
Lift the flaps and play peek-a-boo with animals at the farm! Join in on the classic game of peek-a-boo with a rooster, a cow, and more farm animals by lifting the flaps to reveal each cute creature's joyful face. A perfect board book read aloud with a simple interactive component babies and toddlers will love.
In case you missed the last post, the idea for this book came to me in 2013. I've always loved books with fun interactive elements which add an element of playfulness and surprise so I'm always thinking about books in that way. Here is the concept sketch that I submitted to my editor back in 2013.
Huge thanks to editors Jeffrey Salane (now at Simon & Schuster) and Celia Lee and designer Leslie Mechanic at Scholastic for helping me bring these books to life. Many thanks to my agent and friend Teresa Kietlinski of Prospect Agency for her unwavering help and support.
Here's a peek at two interior spreads from the book:

To celebrate the release of PEEK-A-BOO FARM I'm giving both books to three lucky winners! Leave a comment below and I'll pick three winners at random to receive a set of my PEEK-A-BOO books!
The giveaway ends Tuesday, September 8th at 8pm EST. Three (3) winners will be selected in a random drawing from among all entries received. Open to residents of U.S. only, please. Winners will be notified via e-mail. Prize winners must provide me with a physical address to which the prize will be mailed. If this information is not received, an alternate winner will be chosen by random drawing.
GOOD LUCK!

Your book, You Are My Cupcake, was the first book my daughter checked out from the library when she was 2 1/2 years old. I read it to her in the children’s section, and she loved it. She was so happy when I showed her how to check it out and we could borrow it and take it home. Such a sweet memory!
Since then, we’ve bought the book and also We Belong Together, Hug You, Kiss You, Love You, and My Lucky Little Dragon. They are our bedtime favorites. Thank you!!!!
