We’re sending our next Letter for Kids from Maria Gianferrari! A self-proclaimed bird-nerd, Maria writes to us about all the wildlife she sees around her home in Leesburg, Virginia and while traveling cross-country with her family. She sends lots of pictures of wildlife, birds nests, and even a hummingbird’s nest! Maria’s first picture book Penny & Jelly: The School Show was just released, and we’ll be giving away a signed copy! Keep an eye on the Letters for Kids Facebook page for details.

A second Penny & Jelly book titled, Penny & Jelly Slumber Under the Stars, will be released in June 2016. Maria has five additional books forthcoming from Roaring Brook and Boyds Mills Presses as well as Aladdin Books for Young Readers in the coming years.
