HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY from SCBWI! Celebrating BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6 and Other New Books Published in March

For the next two weeks the Society of Children’s Book Writers will be featuring my new book, BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6: See How They Grow, along with books by other SCBWI members that are being published in March on their Happy Book Birthday page on their website www.scbwi.org.

I am also the lucky winner of the Happy Book Birthday drawing:  
This month's winner of the Happy Book Birthday drawing is Caroline Arnold for her nonfiction book Butterflies in Room 6: See How They Grow, which details the stages of butterflies raised in a kindergarten classroom. Ten copies of her book will be purchased by SCBWI and donated to Reading is Fundamental, an organization whose mission is to create a literate America by inspiring a passion for reading among all children, providing quality content to make an impact, and engaging communities in the solution to give every child the fundamentals for success.” To learn more about Reading is Fundamental, visit their webpage

The official pub date for my book is March 12th. Join me in celebrating all through the month and beyond!

BUTTERFLIES IN ROOM 6 follows a class of kindergartners as they raise butterflies--from tiny eggs, to caterpillars, to chrysalises, to beautiful butterflies, before releasing them in the school garden. Find out more at my website: http://www.carolinearnoldbooks.com/butterflies2.html
