Several years ago, I got interested in writing children's books, so I wrote a few stories, joined SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) and started going to a monthly critique group. Well, time went by, I collected a lot of rejection slips, and these days I don't do much writing (except, of course, on the chicken blog). But I still go to my critique group. And exciting things are happening! In the beginning, no one had been published, but since then we've had two published authors and now there's a third - my friend Medeia, whose first book,
Bestest.Ramadan.Ever. came out earlier this month.
Here I am re-creating a photo with
Bestest.Ramadan.Ever. It's a young adult book about a teenage girl named Almira and her life of high school, friends, boys (especially a cute one named Peter), and her traditional Muslim family. It's written in Medeia's humorous, sweet style and I think it's great!
Here's the original photo. This just might be the bestest "books" re-creation ever!

Sounds like a great book for YA. A way for them to look inside the life of a Muslim family. There is so much misinformation out there.
Whenever we come to visit you, I'd love to read it!
I read where she teaches high school English in Miami - do you know which school?
Sounds like an interesting group for a terrific writer like you. Today's electronic books do make it a little easier to create & promote books.
Congrats to your friend! That's so exciting!
