July 2025 Newsletter – Catherine Clark Felts

Happy Independence Day! Welcome to the July 2025 newsletter and communication update for Catherine Clark Felts' children's books!

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for reading my monthly newsletter! I greatly appreciate your interest in my children’s picture books, including Jude's Best Worst Day Ever, Tina and the Mysterious Case of Dance-itis, and other upcoming titles!

K.D.’s Journey has is lovingly being illustrated by Marvin C. Valenzuela. I am excitedly awaiting updates and character sketches!

Additional titles will be announced as development progresses, with Rocky Knickerbocker and Mess-Making-Gremlins and other stories being finalized!

A heartfelt thank you to Westminster Canterbury Child Development Center in Richmond, VA. Superstar teachers Phylicia and Jasmyne invited me to visit their Pre-K classroom to read my latest book to their curious and adorable students!

The kids were incredibly kind and enthusiastic! They shared so many thoughtful “questions”… which were heartfelt statements about how much they loved my book and the affirmations I brought. Each child randomly chose an affirmation from a special box, and their teachers later shared that every single one was a perfect match for that child. It was such a meaningful moment!

Below, we all were told to strike a pose like Tina!

At the end of the day, the teachers asked the students what was their favorite part of art week. One sweet kid stated “Getting to be with an author today,” which truly melted my heart.

If you have any interest in an onsite event, a virtual event, or would like to share contact information for friends at bookstores, libraries, schools, etc. where I can share and read my book in person, please let me know!!!

Check out my website for information on my upcoming events! I’d love to see you!

If you haven’t followed me on Facebook, TikTok @CatherineClarkFelts), Instagram (@CatherineClarkFelts), or BlueSky (@CatClarkFelts.bksy.social) yet, please do so!

I am beyond grateful and excited to share this journey with you!

Much appreciation,
Catherine Clark Felts
