Do you need a book trailer? Plenty of authors will say no, but trailers are fun to make, even if you don’t have any visual art skills. The one below was made on i-movie, plain and simple. Personally, I like the exercise of distilling an entire book idea down to a minute or less. It’s a visual “elevator pitch” and another way to get readers engaged in what’s coming.
Anyway, here’s the trailer for my next picture book, Mango, Abuela, and Me, due from Candlewick Press on August 25, 2015. Illustrated by the lovely Angela Dominguez.

So very cute. This is a subject we don’t hear about much, but which is a topic that many, many families deal with every day.
Hooray! So happy for you can cannot wait to see how Mango does in the world. Keep going!
