Meet the Author
This is the cover of a fun new Halloween book for little ones. I've read it to the Bear Cubs and Superstars and they loved it. It's got just the right amount of scary (not much) for preschoolers. The nervous bunny on the cover discovers he can brave the unknowns of his first time trick-or-treating after he finds a friend who is just as timid as he is. Once they team up, they are brave and jubilant bunnies.
Author Kathryn Galbraith, who lives in University Place, is holding a fun-sounding event for families at Tacoma's Wheelock Library on Saturday at 3 p.m. She'll read "Boo, Bunny!" and probably another Halloween book. There will be treats and other activities.
I think there will be books for sale, too, with opportunities to get them autographed. I started a collection of autographed books for my kids when they were young and they are pretty cool to have. We have lots of first editions of really nice books.
"Boo, Bunny!" has been getting great reviews, including a mention in this week's People magazine. (Also mentioned is another book I reviewed a week ago in the TNT, Cat Nights, by Jane Manning.)
This week my column in The News Tribune features "Boo, Bunny!" and an interview with Kathryn Galbraith. She's a great person who knows a lot about writing for children. I hope some of you will make it to the Wheelock event. It's a super experience for children to see the real people who make their books. I'll keep letting you know about other opportunities, too.
(By the way, Kathryn says the event is appropriate for children ages 3 and up. She is not wearing a costume, scary or otherwise. She is bringing a stuffed white bunny with a green cape and mask.)
Talk to you soon,
