I'm a Published Author!

Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for reading! This year I have a lot of goals personally and professionally, including integrating tech in more meaningful ways with my primary classes in the library.
In the meantime, after several resubmissions, my book Introducing:Asia is available for free in the iBooks store! We have a global focus at my school, with each grade level studying a different continent or geographic regions. The second graders are learning about Asia, which is what inspired me to try writing a non-fiction book. It was such a challenge, first writing the book, but then including all the interactive features and graphics. I feel like I barely scratched the surface in terms of what would be possible to include in an iBook, and I'm inspired to try to write more about the other continents if I can find the time.
You can download my book for free here https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/introducing-asia/id1182837421?mt=11, unfortunately only available for iOS (Macintosh computer, iPhone or iPad). If you don't have a snazzy Apple gadget check out a PDF of my book here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2LOAiHwC_HPNzB4SkY1S1RLWG8/view?usp=sharing, be warned that interactive features do not work with the PDF version.
Hope that you are able to download, and that you enjoy the book. If you do, please leave me a rating!
Thanks!
