Hi Math is Everywhere Readers and Spring Fling Kidlit Contest hopefuls!
Today, for our fifth Prize Donor Feature for 2020’s Spring Fling Kidlit Contest, we have prolific author and my co-host for the Fall Writing Frenzy…

🎉Lydia Lukidis🎉

Lydia is offering a picture book manuscript critique

We asked Lydia some spring-themed questions, and here are her responses:

• What is your favorite thing about spring?

I am obsessed with the smell of lilacs, which bloom in May. I used to have a lilac tree in front of my house, and I would literally stand there, just smelling it, in total ecstasy. They don’t bloom for too long, so it makes you appreciate it even more.

• Spring is full of surprises bursting forth, what’s something you’ve found surprising about the publishing industry?

I used to be surprised at how generous and open the kidlit community was, but now I’m used to it, and grateful as ever! I try to return the favor when I can, and always respond when someone asks for help. What goes around comes around!

• Can you tell us a bit about your current book(s) or any book(s) you are working on?

I currently have my fiction picture book NO Bears Allowed and also my STEM book The Broken Bees’ Nest which was nominated for a CYBILS Award for sale.
