Dear KidLit Community - Thank You For Your Warm Embrace

Dear Kitlit Community - Thank You For Your Warm Embrace

The Kidlit world holds a secret treasure, it warmly welcomes authors and illustrators, new and old. A gentle tribe of mentors and friends, they guide us through uncharted lands, their kindness knows no bounds.

As an industry, you care - you really, really care. And when hiccups happen - - as they often do in human connections - the industry hears its creators' call and strives to heal.

While I understand that there are nuances that exist in the industry (and in any industry for that matter), the kidlit industry as a whole provides such a welcoming and warm embrace to those who are new (or even not so new) to the industry. And for that, I say “THANK YOU”.

With A Warm Hug Back And Much Appreciation,

Latarsha
