YAY! In case you missed all the screaming from Betsy Devany and all her friends, Betsy signed a contract for her first picture book, SMELLY BABY to Christy Ottaviano of Christy Ottaviano Books at Henry Holt.
Betsy’s debut book will be illustrated by Christopher Denise.
Everybody thinks Smelly Baby is gross, but she is beloved by Lucy. No one understands how amazing Smelly Baby is – or so Lucy thinks until Smelly Baby is … Publication is scheduled for spring 2016; Emily van Beek at Folio Literary Management did the deal on behalf of both Devany and Denise.
CONGRATULAIONS! BETSY, CHRISTOPHER, EMILY, and CHRISTY!
Robin Newman is celebrating, too.
She has two picture books coming out in 2014 with Creston Books.
