![]() For the gift giver who enjoys bundling presents, here are a few clever ideas to accompany HER EYES WERE ON THE STARS: NANCY GRACE ROMAN, "MOTHER OF HUBBLE" SPACE TELESCOPE. LEGO has great accessories to accompany the book. For ages 10 and up your child can build the three sets that come with the Women in NASA kit. Or, for the expert builder who enjoys the ultra building experience, try the Space Shuttle Discovery with his cargo, the Hubble Telescope. If your child enjoys paper projects, this NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope model kit might be a good choice. High quality. This detailed wooden ornament, available on Etsy, would make a nice astronomy gift. This is a great option for the girl who wants to show off her love of astronomy. These are nail stickers with images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, by ORLY. This Hubble Space Telescope poster is available from Mighty Toy. It would brighten up any bedroom wall. From Sega Homestar comes the perfect gift for the star lover, just as Nancy Grace Roman was. This galaxy star projector stores over 6,000 stars per disk. A home planetarium is good for the entire family. There is an original and Flux model, and the Flux has lots of improvements. Astronomy for Kids (available print or digital) is a special issue from Astronomy Magazine filled with projects and fun facts and articles. This would be great for the child that really wants to delve into the universe! This beginner's telescope is a great idea for looking at real stars! The Star Seeker bundled set includes lots of extras! Available from AmScope. This astronomy-lovers t-shirt would be great for kids to show off their interest in space. Available in many colors from teepublic.com. Fluxx Astronomy Plus is a card game for 2-6 players, ages 8 and up. This is available from American Science Surplus. Go to sciplus.com. This decorative crystal ball has the names of the planets etched into the glass. It's beautiful and educational. The lights switch between six colors. What a great bedside gift for the young astronomer. This 3D model comes from Qianwei.

Gayle Cobb is the illustrator of my book HER EYES WERE ON THE STARS. I met Gayle originally through the Cincinnati chapter of SCBWI and I chose her to illustrate this book because of her style - which was a more realistic and detailed style - that I thought worked well for the subject and age range I was aiming for. It's not standard for an author to choose and work directly with an illustrator. However, I intended to publish this book myself and originally planned to go through Ingram. Gayle already had experience working with Braughler Books, a hybrid publishing company, and after talking with both Gayle and David Braughler, I decided this was a better way to go. Though Gayle was willing to go with whatever decision I made, working with Braughler Books ended up being the right choice for me as an author who had never independently published a book. The process was seamless and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The book is absolutely beautiful and I receive many comments on the stunning artwork. Here are more answers to questions you’d want to know about Gayle.

![]() The point of this cookie, anyway, was to test out the new rolling pins I received last Christmas that roll out embossed cookies. I now have four decorations and they are all so festive. I wanted to try them all. So here goes. Tip: brush olive oil on the rolling pin to help prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pins. |
I have a rescue dog named Prince Albert. He's a Cavapoo, which means he's part Cavalier King Charles and part poodle, and adorable. I also recently adopted another Cavapoo named Daisy, who is much tinier than her older brother. I am married and split time between homes in Dayton, OH and Cadiz, KY with my husband Rod.
