It's a re-order of my Starry River of the Sky glow-in-the-dark stickers!
Remember, I offered these FREE to any book group reading Starry River of the Sky? Well, so many people ordered them that I had to get a new batch of stickers! Order yours now (and they're still FREE) while the supply lasts!

more pocket pacy adventures!
This Pocket Pacy is having a fabulous time with the Wu family. They've brought Pocket Pacy south to Grand Mound WA for some water fun at Great Wolf lodge:
Then north to Rice Lake in North Vancouver (BC Canada) on a hike:
Then over the ocean to Kihei Public Library and found my books in Maui, Hawaii:
And finally, into SPACE via a Star Wars X-Wing, accompanied by R2D2:
Ha! Doesn't that look fun?
Don't forget, you can win your own pocket pacy (as well as a chance to get your portrait painted by me) if you enter your photo in my Starry River giveaway! More details HERE!

Come to My Book Club!
Okay, it's not really my book club. But I'm going to pretend it is. The Foundation of Children's Books is having a special book group party with yours truly! So if you've read the book and want to talk about it, come and join! This event is FREE but space is limited so you must RSVP. Official copy below:
The Foundation for Children’s Books (FCB) invites you to a special event for adults and kids featuring Newbery-Honor winner Grace Lin. We’ll talk about Grace’s wonderful new novel, Starry River of the Sky, with the author herself. That’s pretty amazing! We’ll hear about how the FCB brings authors like Grace Lin into under-served schools in Boston. And we’ll enjoy some awesome refreshments— because all book groups have refreshments!
Who: We hope that adults and kids in grades 3-7 will join us. Adults are welcome without kids, but kids should come with an adult.
When: Sunday, December 2 from 1-3 p.m.
Where: Park School Library, 171 Goddard Ave., Brookline
What’s Next: Buy the book and start reading! You’ll also be able to buy the book (and others) at the event, but it will be more fun if you’ve already read it. Bring your books to have them signed!
RSVP: Email the Foundation for Children’s Books at admin@thefcb.org or call us 617-469-7222 by Wed, 11/28. [image error]
