Andrea Beaty Children's Author

A poem for the moment . . .

We live in stressful times, it's true.
But there's so much that we can do
to help each other. To show we care.
To let folks know that someone's there.
Look around and you will find
someone ready to be kind.

Thank you to the many, many educators and helpers who have asked to read our books online for the kids who are out of school this spring. I am deeply touched and heartened by the kindness and helpfulness I see from everyone!

My publishers, Abrams Books for Young Readers and Simon and Schuster have created new guidelines to follow:

Abrams guidelines: Questioneers (Ada, Rosie, Iggy, Sofia); HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADAME CHAPEAU; WHEN GIANTS COME TO PLAY; and my novels ATTACK OF THE FLUFFY BUNNIES 1 & 2, DORKO THE MAGNIFICENT; and THE SECRETS OF THE CICADA SUMMER
Simon Schuster guidelines: DOCTOR TED; FIREFIGHTER TED; ARTIST TED; HUSH, BABY GHOSTLING; HIDE AND SHEEP

Also, I hope you will all join me in supporting Indie Booksellers during this difficult time. Indies are CRUCIAL to the survival of great books for kids. Here are some ways you can help. Please encourage others to help as well. Thank you!
