Today is Multicultural Children's Book Day, and I'm celebrating by writing reviews for some amazing diverse chapter books. Before I dive into my reviews, here is a little bit more information about What Multicultural Children's Book Day is and how it came to be. Founded in 2021 by Valarie Budayr from Audrey Press Books and Mia Wenjen from Pragmatic Mom, Multicultural Children's Book Day grew out of their own frustrations with the lack of diverse books for their own families. As a result, they decided to team up to create an event that would help raise awareness around children's books that celebrate diversity but also get these books into classrooms and libraries around the world. This event is now known as Multicultural Children's Book Day (MCBD) and is celebrated every year on the last Friday in January. Multicultural Children's Book Day (MCBD) is an online and offline celebration of thousands of supporters, educators, parents, caregivers, book reviewers, and quality authors and publishers who team up to spotlight diversity in children through YA literature. Over the course of its eight year run, the MCBD non-profit has donated over 8,000 books to kids and the initiative has expanded offline to classrooms programs, celebrations and global connections. I'm excited to participate this year by reviewing THE ABC's OF RACING: MY FIRST GUIDE TO FORMULA 1 RACING, written by Andy Amendola, illustrated by Wei Ren and DAZZLING TRAVIS, written by Hannah Carmona Dias, illustrated by Brenda Figueroa, published by Cardinal Rule Press. BIG Thanks to Andy and Cardinal Rule press for gifting me the two books in celebration of MCBD! The ABC’s of Racing is a fresh spin on an alphabet book. As someone who is no expert in F1 racing, Amendola’s text breaks down the basics of Formula 1 racing in a way that is easy to understand and digest while Ren’s illustrations capture the vibrancy and excitement of the sport through bold graphic style illustrations and bright/vibrant imagery. The story features diverse characters, bits of Spanish, and a range of different elements of the sport. The story is both fun and informative. A fun fact I learned was that the Grand Prix always falls on a Sunday. I can’t wait for the next book in the Red Racer series to learn more! Dazzling Travis is a delightful read about loving who you are and offers ways for children to cope and react when getting picked on by peers. Carmona Dias's relatable, rhyming text makes the topic easily digestible and accessible to children while Figueroa’s expressive illustrations bring to life the emotions of the text. I enjoyed and appreciated the discussion questions at the beginning the text, and back matter highlighting others who felt different yet went on to shine, including the authors own inspiration for the story who was a former theater student of hers. The story makes for a great resource both at home and in the classroom. Thanks again to the authors and publisher for gifting me these wonderful books to review and helping me diversify my own bookshelf. Thank you to all the organizers involved in Multicultural Children's Book Day for helping us raise awareness around the importance of diverse books in our homes and schools and helping to get these wonderful books into the hands of children around the world.

AD: Please dish us the dirt on who you are and your journey into the fabulous world of children’s books. Did you always know you wanted to be an author? Have you explored other paths or had/have other jobs? MWA: Hi! I’m Maria Wen Adcock, and my debut book, “It’s Chinese New Year, Curious George” just came out on January 3, 2023. I’ve known since I was a kid that I wanted to write a book. I just didn’t know how to make that happen. Along the way, I tried to stay close to publishing by working on the business side in marketing for Time Inc. magazines. I worked on titles such as Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, Real Simple, Southern Living, and a bunch more. But I always longed to work on the Edit side. After my first daughter was born in 2009, I bowed out of the corporate world to raise her and started freelance writing from home. Given I had no professional writing experience, my first assignments were either done for free or for pitiful pay. During this time, I recalled my childhood dream to write a book. As such, I started writing picture book manuscripts and also launched a blog, BiculturalMama.com, in 2011. I originally launched the blog to have a platform for my future books. I just didn’t know it was going to take 12 years! So my blog became a parenting blog with a focus on Asian American culture. It has since evolved to focus on multicultural children’s books and is now my author site as well. During this time, I queried agents and editors to pitch my manuscripts but to no avail. So I started attending writer workshops and conferences to really learn the craft of children’s book writing, and from there my manuscripts improved. In May 2020, a literary agent noticed my book pitch at a Twitter book pitching event. She asked to see my other manuscripts and then we spoke on the phone to see if we were a good fit. That is how I acquired my fabulous agent, Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency! Having an agent opened doors to access to the larger publishers who typically will not consider a manuscript unless the author has representation. My agent played a pivotal part regarding my opportunity to write It’s Chinese New Year, Curious George. Yes! AD: What topics or themes do you tend to focus on in your writing? Favorite genres you like to write in? MWA: I focus on multicultural stories, specifically on Chinese American culture. It is what I know well and is important to me. I’m currently focused on writing picture books. AD: Breaking into the publishing industry is not easy! What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced thus far? What have you done to persevere? MWA: One of the biggest challenges is keeping the faith over the years through many rejections from queries I’ve sent out. Along the way, I birthed two children, and these life events made it even more challenging to find time to focus on my writing. But I’ve always known I wanted to have my stories published, so this kept me going. AD: Yes! I think all creators can relate to the grit it takes to keep going in this tough industry. As creators (and humans), we also tend to focus on the flaws of our creations or areas for improvement. This helps us grow and develop, but we need not forget the many things we are doing well. With this in mind, what has been your biggest accomplishment or something you are most proud of thus far on your writing journey? MWA: My biggest accomplishments have been acquiring a literary agent and publishing a book. It has been such a long journey to get to this point. It’s a dream come true! AD: Yay, congrats on both of those big accomplishments. An inspiration and reminder that if we don't give up, success awaits! In a similar vein, what do you feel are your strengths as an author? What makes your writing unique to you? MWA: I believe my strength is adding authenticity through my life experiences into my stories. This makes it unique to me. AD: What inspires your work as a whole and what inspired It’s Chinese New Year Curious George? MWA: As a whole, I’m inspired to write books that spread awareness of the wonderfully diverse world we live in. Although many cultures have different traditions, the values of each often overlap. It’s important for me to show this through my stories. I had the opportunity through my agent to write It’s Chinese New Year Curious George which is part of a broader series of Curious George tabbed board books that include many holidays. The publisher wanted to expand to include Chinese New Year and was looking for an author who had the background to authentically write about the holiday. I submitted samples of what I would write, and the publisher loved it! I was hired to write the book. While outlining the book, I delved into my childhood experience growing up in a Chinese American household. There are many traditions, and I packed as many as I could into the space of the book. I feel this is the type of book I wish I had when I was a kid…especially because I loved Curious George! AD: You did a wonderful job of incorporating facts with fun into the story to keep readers engaged as they learn about the holiday and culture. I learned so much about the many traditions and symbolism pertaining to Chinese New Year and the tabbed format wove each element together beautifully. Now that we know a bit more about the story and how it came to be, can you tell us about your creative process and what you do to keep ideas flowing or what you do when feeling stuck? What sorts of things have been most integral in your growth as an author? MWA: When I have an idea for a story that keeps popping up in my mind, then I know I need to write it down. I’ll write the idea in a notebook or on my computer. If I’m feeling stuck about story ideas, I’ll think about what things in my childhood or my heritage moved me emotionally - positive and negative. There’s usually a kernel of an idea somewhere in there. Joining the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) made a huge difference in the development of my writing. I learned it’s not enough to just write a story. You also need to know the structure of writing books and what editors are looking for in terms of a story arc, word count, etc. Attending SCBWI workshops and conferences helped me to grow so much as a writer. AD: Yes! I considered myself a writer for a very long time but learning the craft of writing for children was a whole new area for me. It definitely took a lot of practice and studying! AD: What advice do you have for fellow kidlit creatives? Join a critique group. This was one of the best things I’ve done. Often we’re too close to our manuscripts to see inconsistencies, wordiness, logic errors, etc. But I can absolutely say that being part of a writing critique group has improved my manuscripts. I actually now oversee one of the critique groups for SCBWI Long Island which is my local regional chapter. AD: Where can readers find out more about you and your work?

These interviews cast a light on the wonderful work of pre-published or pre-agented authors and author-illustrators who are destined to be stars! For the next several features, we’re collaborating with the hardworking creators of the PB Rising Stars Mentorship Program, Kailei Pew and Ebony Lynn Mudd, to highlight the wonderful and talented creators who were selected for the 2022 Mentorship Program. Learn more about the PB Rising Stars Mentorship program HERE. Meet Rising Star Author Sarah Skolfield Sarah Skolfield grew up in Maine and still lives there, which makes her one of the luckiest people on Earth. She is also lucky to have a husband, three teenagers, one un-athletic dog and one food-driven cat sharing her world. She spends days, evenings, weekends, and holidays working as a Physician Assistant in the emergency department of a community hospital. As a writer, she wants to bring joy to kids and parents by making them laugh. She’s willing to drive long distances for the chance to play field hockey. If you are a field hockey player or fan, you are already her best friend. Sarah is currently seeking agent representation. AD: Hi Sarah and welcome to the blog! Thank you so much for being here! I can't wait to learn more about you and your work. Let’s start with your experience in the PB Rising Stars Mentorship Program. Can you tell us who your mentor was, what inspired you to apply, and how the program went for you ? SS: Thanks for having me on your blog, Amanda! My mentor was Andrew Hacket. His debut PB Ollie, the Acorn, and the Mighty Idea, illustrated by Kaz Windness, will be published in 2024 with Page Street Kids. Andrew was extremely generous with his time and the mentorship exceeded my expectations. We jumped right in with ambitious goals and kept to our schedule. Post-mentorship, I’m more confident in my writing and revising. I’m always on the look-out for opportunities to improve my writing and I’ve applied to a few mentorships in the past. So, when Kailei announced this mentorship, of course I checked it out. Andrew’s bio stood out to me and even though applicants could apply to two mentors, I only applied to Andrew. I felt like he would be the best fit for me. And he picked me! I was at work (where there is almost no down time) so I didn’t get the news until I was scoffing down a protein bar for “lunch”. Then I had to finish my day before I could really soak in the news. It’s been an amazing experience. Kailei and Ebony put together a top-notch program right out of the gate. I keep forgetting this is a first for the mentors themselves. AD: So cool! Andrew and I actually connected through the Rising Stars blog a while back and now through our local Massachusetts/NESCBWI connections and other kidlit/teacher communities. He's awesome, and I'm sure had a wealth of knowledge to share. What a great partnership! Sounds like an amazing experience with a variety of opportunities to grow, learn, and make connections. Alright time for a speed round…
AD: Okay, now down to the serious stuff….please dish us the dirt on who you are and your journey into the fabulous world of children’s books. SS: I’ve always loved reading and used to fall asleep reading under the covers with a flashlight. Writing seemed like a fun thing, too, but I never did anything about it. Until the day I was in a bookstore, wrangling my two toddlers and their baby sister. A book about writing while raising kids jumped off the shelf. The idea that I could be a writer occurred to me. It was literally that moment that set me on this path. Writing for kids was the natural choice. The wonder kids have for their world is inspiring. I want to be a part of that forever. AD: I love that visual of reading under the covers with a flashlight. I think there's a story in there somewhere :) I also love that your inspiration to write came from a book (and bookstore)! How serendipitous! It sounds like your 'aha' author moment came later in life but did you always know you wanted to be an author? Have you explored other paths or had/have other jobs? SS: I have a lot of interests. Writing was in the back of my mind but I didn’t consider it a career option when I was younger. I majored in Russian Studies in college to satisfy my interest in foreign language and culture. But I also took science classes and then went to graduate school to become a Physician Assistant. I’ve been working in emergency medicine and urgent care at the same hospital since graduating from PA school in 2000. AD: Oh wow! Thank you for all you do in your role as a PA. What an interesting contrast to your work as a children's book author. Considering the different interests you have, I'm wondering what topics or themes do you tend to focus on in your writing? SS: I focus on humor with heart. I like stories that highlight friendship or perseverance. I want my stories to encourage kids to read, read, read and to be good people. AD: Breaking into the publishing industry is not easy! What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced thus far? What have you done to persevere? SS: My biggest challenge is self-sabotage, listening too much to the inner critic and putting pause on projects I should probably be trying harder to develop. To persevere? I just keep going. I might pause for a while, but I know it’s never permanent. AD: Yes! As creators (and humans), we tend to focus on the flaws of our creations or areas for improvement. This helps us grow and develop, but we need not forget the many things we are doing well. With this in mind, what has been your biggest accomplishment or something you are most proud of thus far on your journey? SS: Hmm…from the big picture perspective, I’m proud that I haven’t given up. It might be easier to give up. And think of all the other things I could be doing. Like laundry and vacuuming! From a more fine-tuned perspective, being chosen for the PBRising Stars mentorship was a big accomplishment for me. AD: This reminds me of a quote I heard that said, the only way we won't succeed at something is if we give up. I truly believe that. Good for you for pushing through. That's definitely something to be proud of. In a similar vein, what do you feel are your strengths as an author? What makes your work unique to you? SS: I think I have a good sense of how to “leave room for the illustrator”. And I can’t wait to prove it! AD: That's so important-and hard to do! We can't wait to see! You mentioned you have a lot of interests, what about inspirations...what inspires your work? SS: Almost anything. Two traffic cones on the side of the road. A mispronounced word. My cat doing something stupid. I write down random ideas and sometimes don’t remember where they came from. It could be a phrase or a concept. Sometimes it’s just a character name. Sometimes a whole story pops into my head (unfortunately, this is rare). AD: Love this! Inspiration is all around. We just have to be on the lookout and remain curious. Alright, tell us about your creative process and what you do to keep ideas flowing or what you do when feeling stuck? SS: If I’m stuck because I’m too busy or I’m too tired, I give myself a break. But if I’m well rested and I have time but ideas aren’t flowing, I get up and pace the loop through my living room and kitchen. I leave my notebook on the kitchen counter. Walk in circles for a few minutes. Jot something down. Repeat. It sounds weird but it usually works. I am also developing a pre-writing ritual. Something that tells my brain “you are about to write.” So far I have a favorite pair of sweatpants (who doesn’t write in sweatpants??? aren’t they required???) and a scented candle. I think I need some quiet background music, too. Suggestions welcome! AD: Ooo I love this idea of a pre-writing ritual. It seems like from the psychological perspective, that would work. Classical conditioning so our brains associate that ritual with writing. Like the Pavlov's dog experiment! You'll have to keep us posted on how it's going. I really love listening to this indie/pop station on Youtube called, AlexRainBird Music. You can listen to the Autumn/Fall playlist HERE. Love your list of things to do when stuck, can you also share some of the things that have been most integral in your growth as an author? SS: Hands down my critique partners have been most integral! I have attended conferences and webinars, read craft books and received critiques from agents and editors. All of that is important, but having CPs to help distill that information is priceless. AD: Shoutout to the CP's!! Any final advice you have for fellow kidlit creatives? SS: Keep looking for a critique group until you find one that really fits. And, of course, do all the usual stuff: read a lot of picture books, read craft books, put your butt in your chair (or pace your living room) and WRITE a lot. Some of it will be garbage. Some of it won’t. I guarantee you have to allow yourself to write garbage. I’m still struggling with that one. Two of Sarah's favorite writing spaces in her home-blank walls are waiting for her to decide what pictures to put up :) Photo Credit © 2022 Sarah Skolfield AD: And lastly, where can readers find out more about you and your work? SS: Right now I am only on Twitter: @sarahskolfield but hope to have a website soon. Sarah, thank you so much for sharing more about you and your work with us and more about the PB Rising Stars mentorship! We can't wait to read your humor and heart-filled stories!
