#SAYMYNAME #authorlife post.

I had been meaning to create this video for a while. And there's no better time than the present to share resources available about my authorship. Hope you enjoy this video I created from the audio pronunciation on my author page on Teaching Books. Take a listen to how to pronounce and say my name. There's also a little backstory too about the meaning of my name. Thought it would be funny to share all the names I've been called other than #Nadia and the phonetic sounds I've heard.

Drop in the comments your near close names or phonetic sounds for your names! I'd love to see your names.

#authorlife Post!

Hi Friends! Hope your summer's going well? Mine is flying by...

While traveling last week, I never had time to post this video. Seeing I had a little help from Davina @books_inc Stores with shooting this video, I didn't want to waste Davina's efforts. Now, this is 'technically' a #throwback or #later post.

However the last pix in the #reelsinstagram is current! By the time I returned from my trip, Lindsay, the store manager, sent me a pix of #GGInTheWild on Compass' New and Notable bookshelf!

THANK YOU so much Lindsay for the update and for putting GG on your bookshelves at @sanfranciscoairport in Terminal 3!

GG is written by me, illustrated by the amazing @poonammistryart. Released on #vikingbooks (@penguinrandomhouse )!

If you're traveling and flying @united , be sure to drop by and check out Compass Books and GG in the wild! They have a really nice selection of kids books! ❤️

Supporting my #illustrator friend, @ariadelsole --- she's in a video about voting.
GET READY. GET SET. GO OUT TO VOTE!

"If we are able to address those needs, then everybody benefits. You just have to find whatever your voice is. Whether it's spoken or written or art, movement, whatever your special something is...use that to bring people together for democracy. Discrimination does not affect everybody in the same way. I'm inspired by the next generation's desire for change. Sometimes change is slower than we want it go. Everything that we do, does make a difference. Keep at it, keep going, and persevere." - Nadia Fisher

REPOST from @ariadelsole

"Y’all know voting rights are important to me, and I want to thank @votedotorg for including me in this message to the next generation of voters. Check out the amazing @miuradorable and @votedotorg . Don’t forget to register to vote if you haven’t already 💓"

Posted @withregram • @votedotorg Vote.org teamed up with social activists Miura Rempis (@miuradorable) and Nadia Fisher (@ariadelsole) to send a message to the next generation of voters & civil rights activists: Every election, your rights could be on the ballot. Get ready. Get set. Get out to vote. ✌️ 🗳️ #vote #gotv #message

#newrelease HOPE FOR RYAN WHITE

This #picturebook is beautifully written and illustrated. Tugged at my heart, made me cry, and brought back floods of memories when I first heard about Ryan White, his fight, and could only imagine what his life was like. A young kid, finding himself in a position to advocate for his rights to go to school and learn, to get care, all while battling AIDS, when nothing was known about the disease. I hugged this book, because I am reading this from a mom's perspective and I can't imagine what it must have been like for his mom and to lose her child at such a young age.

Highly recommend this title.

BOOK BLURB:

Written by @dano_moreno_ @
Illustrated by @hannahabboillo
Published by @albertwhitmanco

Even after he was diagnosed with AIDS, Ryan White never lost hope.

When Ryan White was diagnosed with AIDS as a teenager in 1984, doctors gave him just six months to live. With the time he had left, all he wanted was to lead a normal life, go to school, and spend time with friends. Instead, he faced discrimination from people who didn't understand his illness—but he didn’t let that stop him. Ryan kicked off a heroic battle to educate the world about a disease that was spreading rapidly and killing more and more people each year. By sharing his story, he helped change the conversation and raise awareness of an epidemic that still affects us today.

#bookpromotion tips... Be yourself and don't be afraid to introduce yourself no matter where you go. You'd be surprised how a bookstore manager responds... While on my way to a trip, I stopped by @CompassbooksSFO @flysfo Terminal 3 to ask if they could order copies of #goodnightganesha , written by me, illustrated by #poonamistry, released on #vikingbooks @penguinrandomhouse ! The store manager said yes. Ordered a copy and asked me to help promote the book will be in their store. I was invited to sign copies when they arrive and to schedule a read. I'm superstoked and looking forward to signing copies and storytime! Can’t wait to read in my pjs and possibly do an airport camp out! #localauthor #airportstorytime #summerreading #bedtimestory #goodnightbook #GGIntheWild Music courtesy of Hanson #mmmbop
