A small book of lively rhyming poetry for #TheSealeyChallenge _____ Horn went "Beep!" Engine purred. Friendliest sounds you ever heard. _____ Sometimes, the simplest rhymes and stories bring the biggest smiles. #poetry #kidlit #picturebooks

One example from publishing: When we’re testing out a book format, we send the specs to the printer (x pages, trim size, special paper or novelty elements, etc.) overseasand then get a sample. These just became much slower & more expensive to get.

Readers love rhyming picture books! But the pieces need to add up -- stellar story, marvelous meter, and really good rhymes. If you write in rhyme, we can help you make your manuscript shine! www.rhymedoctors.com @schaubwrites.bsky.social @eileenmeyerbooks.bsky.social @patriciatoht.bsky.social
