I am so excited to have my very first school author visit next week. I am also tickled to find out from a fellow author that my reputation precedes me in the area school system! I was extremely flattered that a librarian had told him that she enjoyed seeing his name associated with mine and my book. This is great news seeing as how my book hasn't been out for a year yet. I am also being considered for a school visit next year for a school of 550 children. I hope to be selected and if I do, I better bring lots of water! That is a lot of talking.

Tuesday, April 19th, I will be participating in the Literacy Day Celebration held by Bethany Lutheran Elementary School with attendance of a neighboring school Christ the King Lutheran. They are celebrating 10,000 books in Bethany's library!

This week is Children's Book Week, May 2nd-8th. Family Literacy and You is hosting a children's book giveaway hop and I am participating. You can enter my giveaway and hop on over to the other 21 sites participating. My particular giveaway is easy to enter and no following required. Have fun!

Saturday Is 'Take Your Child to a Bookstore' Day! I will be taking mine to my book signing in Gig Harbor. She loves books! http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by...

"Bookstores hold a place in the hearts and times of our community. They are places to discover an author, a story, a life. Nothing affords the conversation and interaction among books and book lovers that a bookstore does. In the future, whether you download your story or pluck a volume off a shelf, a bookstore will be able to accommodate. But in order for bookstores to flourish and thrive, we must expose future generations to the unique pleasures they offer. On December 3rd, 2011, take the child in your life to a bookstore. Watch his face light up as you give him free access, not just to a new book, but to tomorrow." —Jenny Milchman
