To celebrate the new season of Camila books, I will be hosting an invention contest for kids aged 7-9. You can read the details here. So spread the word. There are some great prizes and kids can flex their  brain muscles scientifically and creatively!

Exciting things are happening! 

The new Camila book titles and book covers are here:

And the illustrator is diligently working on the artwork.

Pinterest

We have entertaining, educational, and inspirational new pins on Pinterest. We have and whole section of strong girl quotes from Camila, including "A star wouldn't quit just because something is hard". We have pins that lead you to educational resources like writing prompt exercises for K-5. And lots of information about Día de los Muertos, which will be here soon.

Research Help

I am doing research and having trouble finding picture books about cascarqnes. Do you know of any picture books, fiction or nonfiction, about cascarones (confetti eggs)?

Also, do you know how they said 'cool' back in the 1900's, 1910's, 1920's, 1930's, or 1940's?
