Olivia asked to read Nora again. 🥹🍪💜 That might be one of the sweetest things anyone could ever tell a children’s book author. The first photo is Olivia holding Nora Escapes the Bakery for the first time.

Find yourself. 👀 Which eyes are you claiming? Tell me in the comments! 👇🏾 These little personalities are getting ready for Sunday’s festival, where kids will turn them into their own cookie creations. 🍪✨ #ChildrensBookAuthor #BaltimoreEvents #KidsActivities #AuthorLife #NoraEscapesTheBakery

JUST TAKE A LOOK. 👀🍪 Sunday’s festival preparations are going completely normal over here. Nothing strange happening. Just me casually gluing dozens of tiny eyeballs onto wooden cookies while they stare directly into my soul. 😭 Nora and I are getting ready for Sunday! 📚🍪 And these little creatures are about to become somebody’s very own cookie creation. #AuthorTok #BookTok #ChildrensBooks #AuthorLife #CraftTok

POV: You’re exhausted from preparing for Sunday’s book festival… …but your brain remembers ONE MORE THING you need for the kids’ activity. 😭📝 At this point, if it’s not on the list, it does not exist.

I’m an introvert. I’m very nervous. Marketing scared me… but here we go. 🍪 After 5 years of writing, revising, dreaming, and working with an incredible team, I’m finally holding my first children’s book in my hands. 📖 Nora Escapes the Bakery releases June 1! Thank you to everyone who supported this journey. I can’t wait for Nora to meet young readers and their families. #NoraEscapesTheBakery #BookTok #ChildrensBooks #BlackAuthors #IndieAuthor
