Support The Pencil Pusher!


Hi! Shanda McCloskey here. I'm a full time author and illustrator of children's books and passionate about talking with kids about the ups and downs and sideways of being creative!


As an author/illustrator, I get to connect with students once in a while through school visits, but I get to have an ONGOING connection with kids via The Pencil Pusher – a hold-it-in-your-hands-REAL-full-color newspaper all about how creative problem-solving is sometimes messy, rarely a straight line, and should be enjoyed throughout the process!


As a supporter, you will be helping me get The Pencil Pusher produced and mailed to kids, classrooms, and libraries all over the USA - three times a year at no cost to them. (As of now, there are 5,500 kids subscribed - and growing!)
