RED, WHITE and BLUE

What's it like to premiere your new picture book at one of your favorite libraries? Think one part ol' home week, think one part Head Start teachers & staff reunion, think one part preschool concert -- stir in supportive librarians and you've got a backstage pass to the unfoldings of fun. We had grandparents, bosses, school kids, town paper, babies, daddies, teen-agers, teachers out on a field trip, toddlers, wobblers, boys willing to dance..... the whole gamut of flag wavers. When they scheduled this concert my book was still coming down the home stretch, having their invitation prompted a whole lot of action!! Here's the evidence of how it all comes together.
