Welcome to Manzanita
|
This is a gathering place for people who want to find children's book offerings and resources. Now more than ever, we need to understand that we are interconnected, and that the the well-being of the community is as important as our individual well-being. The goal for this site is to to provide resources for community members to express their creative voices through telling stories for young people, from board books for babies to books for teens. We welcome all, and especially people from under-represented groups in the mainstream children's book world and those involved in indie publishing.
