Joanne Roberts: Thanks for stopping by my site. I'm a children's illustrator and writer who can't get enough kidlit. At Bookish Ambition you can learn about writing challenges, illustrating contests, gallery events, book reviews, fabulous artists, and talented authors. Along the way, you'll hear the ins and outs of my own creative journey. From newbie to Newbery, it's my hope you'll find something valuable here.
