The Kidlit Guess Who File
For all of the librarians who have asked, and for anyone else who needs it
Last year I ran Read Across America night at my kids’ elementary school, along with our awesome school librarian. My husband and I created this Kidlit Guess Who game, and when I posted it on Twitter, it got a massive response, and dozens of librarians all over the country asked for the file we created so they could make their own Guess Who game. I sent out so many files, and then I took a long leave from Twitter.
Read Across America night is once again on the horizon, and suddenly I have tons of notifications and messages again re: the Guess Who post. I realized that a much easier and more accessible way of getting the file to anyone who needs it is to post it on my Substack! So it’ll just be here for you, whenever you’d like.
Please let me know if you have any questions. This sizing should work for your game board, though some boards vary in size depending on when they were made. You can resize as needed, and print the image twice as big in order to make the bigger game cards!
Also! The Barnes & Noble preorder sale is going on right this very second, and until January 26th, members get 25% off any preorders with code PREORDER25, including my middle grade novel, Dinner at the Brake Fast, out June 25th with Quill Tree Books/HarperCollins. If you’re new here, it’s about a girl named Tacoma who runs a truck stop with her parents in North Bend, WA.
From my publisher:
“Dinner at the Brake Fast is a hilarious and heartfelt story about road-trip mishaps, a murderous rooster, facing down anxieties, and unexpected friendship that is a must-pick for readers who loved The Science of Unbreakable Things and The First Rule of Punk.
Tacoma Jones loves working at her family’s roadside diner, the Brake Fast, pouring coffee and serving eggs and muffins to truckers all day long. But tonight, she is finally going to break out her collection of cookbooks and prepare the best dinner the state of Washington has ever seen.
But her excitement is dampened when she learns that today is one of Dad’s bad days, when his depression makes it hard for him to get out of bed.
Tacoma knows she can’t fix her dad’s depression. But what she cando is steal back his prized photograph of his second-best day from her nemesis, the nasty Crocodile Kyle—while also planning a dinner that is sure to brighten up his bad day.
She just might need an accomplice or two to pull off the heist. . . . ”
Happy reading!
