Celebrating “Read Across America” with Women Authors Who Write Clean Books

March is a fun month for many reasons; a pesky leprechaun making a mess in our living room is one of them. However, I also love March because we get to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday with “Read Across America” day (March 2nd) as well as “International Women’s Day.” (March 8th)

So today’s post is in honor of both of those holidays. I will be sharing some of my favorite clean female authors and links to all their websites where you can check out their books.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”
Dr. Seuss; Oh the Places You’ll Go
