Holly Jahangiri is the author of Trockle, illustrated by Jordan Vinyard; A Puppy, Not a Guppy, illustrated by Ryan Shaw; and the newest release: A New Leaf for Lyle, illustrated by Carrie Salazar. She draws inspiration from her family, from her own childhood adventures (some of which only happened in her overactive imagination), and from readers both young and young-at-heart. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.

      Dang it, Roy. AGAIN? Stop hanging out in the back alley. Well, don’t stop – but maybe put on a suit or something? (Had to fish you out of the moat again. This is not cool, and I don’t know how to fix it. You’re even whitelisted!)

      MOST of the leaves have fallen, probably due to the weight of all the rain. But this is Houston. They’ll cling desperately till they’re pushed out by the new buds of the first fake spring. That poor tree never fails to bloom TWICE a year. Always falls for it.

      They just seem that way, but I deeply appreciate the effort of readers and friends willing to go to the effort. I know it’s to prevent fraud, and that’s always a GOOD thing – but it could certainly be clearer/easier. At least I provided some fair warning! 😀

      Isn’t it great! Perfect for the story, all of them. And she’s a joy to work with.

    What a cute little story for kids and parents dealing with a common, but possibly frustrating stage that many children go through! Congrats to you and your illustrator. I voted in all 3 categories. Good luck!

      I believe so – I don’t think there are any geographic restrictions! (I know one person bought the book on Amazon.in and voted yesterday, so I’m pretty sure – yes!)

    Hi Jahangiri, hope to have that book. As I look at the books cover, it really reminds me of my childhood.

      Probably because Carrie and I haven’t forgotten our own! I hope that you enjoy it, edward.
