Starry Kalahari wins First Place
Jenni's manuscript, Starry Kalahari won the nonfiction category at the SCBWI-LA Writers Day.
I love the silhouettes of the baobab trees against a setting sun in the picture--very fitting for your PB story, which will delight children with its rhymes. Good luck with the queries!
