My debut picture book Hide & Go Seek-A-Saurus came out Tuesday, March 6! It’s available on KWiL Publishing’s website and Amazon, and did I mention there’s a coloring book version, too?! Here is a picture of the freshly printed book basking in natural sunlight:
Over the past week, it’s been awesome seeing kids and adults react to the book. Thank you to everyone who has shared adorable photos, like this one! Shared with the quote, “He’s been reading it nonstop!” He’s so cozy and focused. I love it so much:
If you and your kids are enjoying the book, please consider leaving a review on Amazon. You don’t need to have purchased the book through Amazon to leave a review. It’s incredibly helpful as a debut author to have those reviews, so thank you!
And please check out the book trailer! A big thank you to my brother for creating the video and my sister-in-law for doing the voice over. It’s nice to be related to video pros!
We’ve also had a couple reviews come in! A lovely blog, Dream Reader Kids on Instagram, and this review from a school librarian:
“Dinos, Daryl Dactyl and Steve Rex, are pizza chefs and extreme hide-and-go-seekers. In Hide & Go Seek-A-Saurus, the pair invites readers to join them in an interactive game of hide-and-seek while their pizza bakes. Young children will need to observe the backyard setting carefully to spy the two, as each time the dinos hide, finding them becomes progressively more challenging. By round three, Steve is apparently hidden for good! Will the beeping of the pizza timer bring him out of hiding? With its colorful digital illustrations; comic book format; light-hearted dialogue; and invitation to play along, young readers are sure to enjoy Hide & Go Seek-A-Saurus.”
