Pretty much everyone who writes, reads or follows children’s literature knows Cynthia Leitich Smith. Her wesbite and her blog is the go-to resource for everyone in our community. I am very, very proud to have joined her this week as a guest on her blog, Cynsations where I share the journey of transforming my picture book Snuggle Mountain into an app. Thank you, Cyn.

And thank you, readers, for joining in the giveaway fun. Deadline September 26 to win one of three Snuggle Mountain apps (IPhone and IPad users only).

Speaking of giveaway fun, I want to highlight Cyn’s latest work, a graphic novel called Tantalize: Kieren’s Story has just been released by Candlewick. As part of its release, Cyn is hosting the grandmother of all giveaways. No really, it’s huge. It’s international. Don’t miss it. Deadline September 6.
