I recently had the pleasure of attending the Paths to Publishing KidLit panel by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Southern Breeze Chapter at Sharon Forks Library. It was a real treat to hear what inspired each of the seven authors at the event to write and publish their books. Here are three books written by authors featured at the program.
Rover is eager to join his human on NASA’s Artemis Moon mission and he makes some persuasive arguments for adding a canine companion to the space program. Earth Rover presents information about aerospace technology, humans in space, and dogs in a cute way and includes information on the logistics of moon exploration. I love the way Taylor Woolley humanizes the men and women who work on our NASA space programs.

Award-winning author and illustrator Shanda McCloskey didn’t intend to be an author at all—she started out as an illustrator and then began writing her own stories. McCloskey lives in Ball Ground, Georgia, and is a former high school art teacher.
