Recently, I had trouble with people posting unauthorized YouTube readings of my award-winning picture book about bullying How the Moon Regained Her Shape (Arbordale, 2006; 6th edition 2018). I wrote an essay about this problem: “Combating Unauthorized YouTube Videos of Children’s Books.” The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators of Michigan posted my article in its newsletter The Mitten on May 13, 2022. Here is the link to this article. https://scbwimithemitten.blogspot.com/2022/05/combating-unauthorized-youtube-videos.html Thank you to The Mitten's editor Sarah Prusoff Locascio for publishing my essay! #plagiarism #plagiarismchecking #socialmedia #SCBWI #picturebooks #arbordalepublishing Cover of Janet Ruth Heller's book How the Moon Regained Her Shape; cover by Ben Hodson
