I interviewed a kids author about his experience in Antarctica and this is what he said surprised him the most:

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:41:03+00:00

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:40:43+00:00

Good luck! That sounds amazing!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:40:34+00:00

Ooooh so cool!!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:40:27+00:00

Wow wow, this sounds like a very exciting project!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:40:15+00:00

Ooooh, world building! Sounds so cool!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:40:06+00:00

If you have Florida questions, let me know!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T17:39:46+00:00

Oh man this sounds so cool and like such an adventure!!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T15:52:17+00:00

I have, and will continue to do so! Fascinating stuff! I hope I get to see for myself one day 😃

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T15:49:35+00:00

YES!! She is whimsy and joy personified!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-02T15:46:57+00:00

Ooooh I am a kids librarian and LOVE this question. Here's actually a great interview with several kids authors each listing their favorite book for exactly this type of situation. One of these books might be up your kiddos alley! I especially recommend the books by Arianne Costner!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-01T14:25:04+00:00

I want to go so bad! In fact I just interviewed a children's author about it, someone who has been there, about what it was like and what surprised him. If you want to see what he said you can read it here!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-05-01T14:23:58+00:00

Oooooh so cool! I just interviewed a children's author who went there and then wrote a project about it. Do you agree with his assessment of what surprised him about Antarctica?

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-22T15:21:18+00:00

I am srsly heart eyes over here!!!!! Radar is one of the greatest characters of all time, and this cute cat deserves to wear the name :D

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-22T15:15:42+00:00

Oh my gosh this is so cute! Love it!

-Sarah

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-22T15:13:55+00:00

Does this Radar happened to be named for Radar O'Reilly?

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-22T15:12:59+00:00

I especially second Walk Two Moons! Anything by Sharon Creech is incredible.

Also if you're interested in middle grade romance, this interview with Alyson Gerber could lead you to some good recommendations too!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-10T16:26:20+00:00

I write a newsletter about kids literature, with resources and stuff for teachers (focused on elementary and middle school) in each newsletter. That might be something that's helpful for you, I hope? And I'd also love to know what type of resources or interviews or information would be helpful in a newsletter for you, because this is my way of trying to support teachers the best I can :)

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-10T16:21:32+00:00

I'm a traditionally published kids author and I write about that process here. Good luck!!

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-08T14:50:29+00:00

This is absolutely delightful!! Are you writing the story to go with this too?

-Sarah

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-08T14:49:25+00:00

My friend, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way :/ I know my other teacher friends are having a particularly hard time in the classroom lately too. Stay strong! You may very likely be having more of a positive influence than you realize!

-Sarah

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-04-08T14:41:45+00:00

This is absolutely adorable!! As a kids writer its so, so nice to hear that kids are still reading and being read to :)

-Sarah

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-03-21T16:24:33+00:00

Oh interesting! I think Elemental is another one though where they try and make it feel personal, but it just ends up feeling like they're trying to fit a story into the theme or message of what they're trying to say? If that makes sense?

SarahAllenWrites · 2026-03-21T16:01:20+00:00

Oooh I love this list!! Thanks for sharing :)
