Twas The Night Before Gameday Children's Book

Such a sweet visit today with kindergartners! They were the sweetest, most excited little angels and made me feel like a celebrity! They even gave me a crown to wear—which I’m pretty sure is my love language. 😆👸🏼
Thank you and for inviting me! 📚

Look at these angels! 😍
It was a big surprise when 3 students in the same kindergarten class chose for their book-pumpkin project! 🎉
It doesn’t get much better than that! 📚🏈🎃

What an incredible night celebrating Auburn Alumni Association’s Top 20 Under 40!
I am honored and humbled to be included in such a prestigious group—and I still have to pinch myself every time someone asks me to sign my book. 🥰

New year, new readers! These cuties got a copy of “‘Twas the Night Before Gameday” for Christmas! 📚🎄🏈🥰

It felt so good to be back in a school today! 😷 And my youngest got to introduce me! He’s not embarrassed of me yet. 🤞😆🥰📚📖

Hey all you college football fans! It’s the night before gameday!! 🏈😆

So a little update: Covid has negatively effected so many things including (strangely) the collegiate licensing process. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The book has been sold out everywhere for quite a while now and between licensing delays and the SEC deciding to add more schools 😳, I’m not sure what the future holds for this little literary child of mine.

That being said, one of my favorite things throughout this journey has been the number of people who tell me how much their children love the book and the millions of times they’ve (been forced to) read it—I always feel like I should humbly/awkwardly apologize. 😂

I got a Facebook message this morning from someone that I’ve never met asking where she could purchase a replacement because her well-loved book was losing pages and her husband wanted to read it to her kindergartner’s class next week.

This got me thinking…who needs a replacement book for this college football season?!

You guys have been unbelievably supportive and with books currently unavailable, I’d love to send 20 copies out, free of charge, to anyone who’s copy has been loved past the point of no return.
DM me your name and address and I’ll send books to the first 20 I receive. 🤗
And please don’t stop sharing pics and videos of your little ones enjoying ! 🥰📚

Does it get any cuter than this little stud?! He got to dress up like his favorite book character for school!
😆🥰🏈📚

Sweet Rex got to take his favorite book to school today! 🏈🙌📚
