Book Signing in LA
I'm making a very rare appearance on the west coast!
On Sunday, July 22nd author/illustrator Anna Alter and I will be signing books at Pages Bookstore in Manhattan Beach. Please come! Like I said, this will be a rarity--I don't make it out there that often and I don't think I'll be going out there again soon. Please spread the word!
To make it fun, I'm going to give away five pocket pacys to the first five people who ask for them. Get there early!

chasing rainbows
Around this time last year, I was at ALA, running around New Orleans. This year, I didn't go to the conference and I admit I felt a tad left out. So, instead, the Sasquatch and I packed the car (and Rain Dragon) for a weekend in Maine. As we left, it poured rain but by mid-drive a rainbow and a half began to appear:
It accompanied us the whole way:
And as we got closer to our destination, we began to wonder if we were actually going to find the end of the rainbow with its legendary treasure:
Guess, what? We did!
Rain Dragon at the end of the rainbow, the better than a pot o'gold!

taste of june
We're finally getting more adapted to life with Rain Dragon--we have learned how to function on 3 hour sleep spans! So, this means the Sasquatch has had time to do a little more experimenting in the kitchen. With the last strawberries of June, he made Pac-man strawberry shortcake:
Yum!
Yum!
