To help celebrate the Sept. 7th launch of I’M SORRY, the newest in the kids’ emotions picture book series by Michael Ian Black and me (Simon & Schuster), I’m inviting readers of all ages to submit photos for my I’M… Picture Books Reader Gallery. There will be PRIZES; Michael will help me pick winners. Deadline for photo submission: October 1st, 2021.
Do you have a fun photo of a person or animal reading either I’m Bored, I’m Sad, I’m Worried or I’m Sorry? I’d love to see it. If you post on social media, be sure to use the #ImBooksReaderGallery hashtag and tag me (I’m @inkyelbows on Twitter, @inkygirl on Instagram, @DebbieOhi on Facebook) and @SimonKids. If I don’t respond, it means I may have missed it – so please fill out this form to let me know, thanks.
What I AM looking for: fun photos that include at least one person or animal with one or more of the books.
What I am NOT looking for: photos with just the book cover and/or inanimate objects, photos that are not family-friendly, photos that have been heavily modified, photos that might offend. I reserve the right to NOT include any photos in the gallery.
EVERY accepted gallery photo that includes at least one young reader will win a special doodled letter from me (the illustrator), plus Michael and I will choose Grand Prize winners for special bonus goodies.
Submission form (deadline: Oct. 1st, 2021)
