Write About Now

Last week I reconnected with Sally Lloyd-Jones, a children’s book author who lives in New York City. I worked for Sally as a summer intern when she was the publisher at Reader’s Digest Young Families, and our paths have crossed a few times since then.

I found her website while I was avoiding my work and surfing around Standard’s website. In addition to her books with Random House and other publishers, Sally has published several books with Standard including the award-winning Baby’s First Bible. Her most recent book, which the NYT called “adorable, original, well-illustrated, and fabulous,” is How to be a Baby: by Me, the Big Sister. (Even the title’s great.)

I encourage you to check out her storybook Bibles with Standard, as well as her other books, especially if you have a young child. Her blog is also a delight, even if you can’t get the full effect of her British accent making it funnier.

I think when I grow up I want to be Sally. Is it too late to become Welsh?
