Shoreline children’s author Jennifer Phillips invites SCBWI members to stop by online during May for her virtual book party celebrating little-known figures in history featured in her juvenile biographies.
Phillips has published in children’s magazines and also has released three young reader biographies to date: ELIJAH LOVEJOY’S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, about the abolitionist editor who died while defending his printing press; ROBERT WADLOW: THE UNIQUE LIFE OF THE BOY WHO BECAME THE WORLD’S TALLEST MAN, about how Wadlow’s overactive pituitary gland took him in extraordinary heights as a child; and NINA KOSTERINA: A YOUNG COMMUNIST IN STALINIST RUSSIA, about the teenager whose diary became an international bestseller years after her death as a guerrilla soldier fighting the Nazis.
The month-long party includes:
- Weekly trivia quizzes and prize drawings of movie, book and restaurant gift cards
- Free giveaway drawings for all three books
- Discount coupons for ebook versions of the Lovejoy and Wadlow biographies
The activities will be happening in two connected virtual universes at www.noseinabookpublishing.com and www.facebook.com/NoseinaBookPublishing.
