The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestracommissioned Joshua Penman to write a concert piece based on my book Raccoon Tune. The piece premiered in 2007, with rousing trash-can percussion. It will be performed again in a family concert November 4, with Josh as the narrator. Raccoon Tune has also been a Library of Michigan Michigan Reads! book, with school and library visits around the state.The concert will also feature Carnival of the Animals and selections from The Lion King. Kids can visit the Instrument & Doggy Petting Zoo in the lobby.
Raccoon Tune books will be for sale. Stop by and say hi if you're coming to the concert.

Sheep in a Festival
Knitters, weavers, farmers, and sheep gathered at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds for the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, New York October 20 & 21. Brought there by Scott and Alison Meyer and their staff at Merritt Books, I enjoyed meeting fairgoers and autographing sheep books (as well as Elena's Story). The literary landscape was rich, too. Author Bobbi Katz, especially known for her poetry for young people, stopped by; and I had memoirist and novelist Da Chen as my booksigning neighbor--he treated fairgoers to calligraphic paintings and flute interludes. It was a wooly good time!
