You guys, my new children’s book just came out.
You can download the book by clicking on the image.
It’s actually not all that new. In fact, it’s 22 years old. I wrote and illustrated it when I was living in Asia and teaching children. My husband put it on PowerPoint right after we were married a decade ago. He also improved a lot of the images, like turning – what looked like – smiley faces in jailย (Happy Zoo) into adorable smiley animals.
But it wasn’t until this whole self-publishing thing became an option that I could make the book available. I had completely forgotten about it after my memoir, and my husband encouraged me to dig it out. My designer put it into publishable format and chose a really cute font, and . . . voila!
The book is free on Kindle for 5 days, and I wanted to ask if you could help me spread the word, and also download it, even if you don’t have age-appropriate children. This willย make it more visible on Amazon.
Thanks. And . . . that’s it.
Then we’re really back to our regularly scheduled programming. I promise. ๐
Yay, congratulations Jennie! Sharing this everywhere.

It is a silly giggly ole thing, but I do feel affectionately about this project.
Well, who could resist this? What a deal! And I love that your book is getting new life, 22 years later.

Thanks Tamara! I was going through a big smiley face stage right out of college, and this is the by-product.
Congratulations! I’m in the middle of gathering the courage to self-publish the children’s book that has been sitting on my computer for years. I’m so glad you did it.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
If you decide to go the self-publishing route, I’m not sure if you saw my post just before this one, but it has a step-by-step guide so you can save yourself all the hair pulling.
Wauw congratulations! Any change of a Dutch translation?
