Hi Debbie! I realize this post is old but it popped up in my feed so maybe you are still updating it? If you are, I’d love to be added! I started my substack a few months ago so I’m still pretty new to it all! My substack is https://zaralikestodraw.substack.com/ and you can find my books here: https://www.zaralikestodraw.com/books

Hi Debbie, Here’s one of my Books Published by Pioneer Valley Press https://pioneervalleybooks.com/products/newborn-kits. There are two others, plus McGraw Hill Education, but they don’t produce actual books. Teachers download their stories. I don’t have a Substack account yet. I’m on Blue Sky instead, so maybe I don’t fit your criteria. Anyway, I appreciate what you are doing.
