Hey #mgbookchat, tonight when you talk about school visits, keep author @shawnkstout in mind! My @MGBookVillage #interview with her went up earlier this month. She loves doing visits, both in person and virtual. And her #fiction is fun! @PeachtreePub https://mgbookvillage.org/2022/08/08/interview-with-shawn-k-stout-about-the-impossible-destiny-of-cutie-grackle/
