In one of her latest posts, Franki Bagdade writes about writing homework: Holy Cr-- my kid has writing homework! Can someone please cue the Jaws theme song? When schools went virtual for the first time (I can't believe that I have to distinguish that), any time my son had to write anything it came with a side of tears. This is Mr. 9, Mr. Happy Go Lucky, Mr. Chill 3rd Child! When he has a meltdown, I find my mind goes completely blank. Even though I teach, speak and write about meltdowns for a living, I have no clue what to do! This is because this kid is so zen that he barely has them.

One of the fun things that a publisher (or at least, an acquisitions editor) gets to experience is meeting more than one member of a family -- as an author whose work we publish. Today, we introduce the Bagdade cousins - second cousins, that is: Franki and Gregg.  Franki's book, was published about a year before Gregg's. The title of her book is I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them . It was selected as IAN Book of the Year. Gregg's book was recently released. The title of his book is Mental Health Mayday . Currently at #124, this book has spent many days among the Amazon top 100 titles and hot new releases. For more posts on Franke and Gregg, click HERE .

  In "Putting the Fun into Functional Anxiety," Franki Bagdade, author of  I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them ,  writes: I woke up gasping for breath. I had a horrible nightmare. I was with the girls in some big city, I was holding something in my hand (yogurt, actually, whatever subconscious...) and I told Ruby not to run towards the bridge and she did and flipped over it and I woke up with the startle that I lost her.
