Hello and welcome to the news round-up of Scattered Authors members. It's a picture book month this month, with some great new publications - and a birthday celebration.
Tracy Darnton has a new picture book MY SISTER IS A TREASURE, illustrated by Yasmeen Ismail, out with Simon & Schuster on 28th August. It's a humorous look at the effect of a new baby on a sibling.

One Cat, Two Cats, a lift-the-flap pop-up counting book, written and paper-engineered by Jonathan Emmett, illustrated by Rob Hodgson and published by Nosy Crow, is out Thursday 14 August.
Where most counting books stop at ten, this one goes to twenty, with each number represented by a characterful cat. The book has already been shortlisted in the Best Preschool Book category of this year’s Junior Design Awards.
Moira Butterfield has two books out in August.
One is intended to make geography fun, with the help of Builderbot characters, illustrated by Clare Elsom. The other, illustrated by Ro Ledesma, was written to get Moria's 6/7 year old great-nephew interested in books!

Finally, not book related, but please join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Anita Loughrey who hits one of the biggies this month.
Next news round-up will be September 7th. Send your items to me, Claire Fayers, by the end of August for inclusion.

Thank you for alterting people to these great books, Claire!
Happy birthday to Anita Loughrey too - though now a little worried at to how big a monthly Birthday Round up could grow. I'm remembering those infant school assemblies where hopeful little ones would claim they had a birthday, just in case they did.
Hmmm. On the other hand, some Sassies may be avoiding them entirely every year or so.
