I'm going to see my friend Suzanne read her sweet picture book, "The Animals are Sleeping" at our local bookstore this morning. Suzanne has written more than 40 non-fiction children's books, but this one is special because it's a picture book! They're so hard to get published. Suzanne writes beautifully. We're in a writer's group together, and it's a thrill to see her accomplishing so much!

Where did she have a reading? Are there other places she will do this?
Looks like a clever book. Will have to get a copy?

Hi Sheila,
Suzanne read her book at Under the Sycamore Tree. I know you would love this book, lots of information about all different kinds of animals and how they sleep in the back, after the sweet bedtime story.

And Michelle,
It was a lovely morning outing! Kind of strange to attend a pre-schooler's story time without a pre-schooler. I guess this is who I am becoming...a mom with older kids....
I had empty arms.

By the by, Suzanne's book is actually purple (if you're looking for it at a store...) I'm not sure why it's showing up pink here.
