At the Boardwalk in Kingston, Mass.
- May. 31st, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Here's a photo of Aunt Betty flashing the book.
Check out the beach chair and shades!
And here's the note she sent me afterwards:
Hi Kell,
It was a lot of fun! There were about 18-20 excited preschoolers. We sang our songs & they quieted right down for the story. I think that they loved the book...could tell they were really really looking at the pictures
Before I read I showed them your picture & told them they or their Moms & Dads could be writers someday if they wanted. A couple of the Moms were very interested in how it all came about for you.
So, thank you for providing the children of Kingston with a fun morning at the library.
Hope you are doing well.
Love,
Aunt Betty
Isn't she terrific?
