  • Kimberly Wilson, "A Credit Card Takes Charge" (Page Street Kids, 2024)
    Oct 12 2024
    Are you ready for the story of a credit card that takes cash on a spending spree? In my interview with picture book author Kimberly Wilson, we celebrate brand new book, A Credit Card Takes Charge, published just last week by Page Street Kids (Oct. 1st, 2024). It's third in her series of hilarious, punniful picture books dealing with all things monetary, with a fourth (a piggy bank book) coming out next year. Kimberly talks about her journey, from the eight year-old story writer, through a career in marketing, and returning to her passion of writing stories for children. One intriguing tip from this exciting interview - considering writing the pitch of your picture book story before you sit down and write the story. Learn more about your ad choices.
