booktalk tuesday
Things have gotten rather busy here as I am adapting to life with a Rain Dragon. So, my niece Lily has taken over some of my Booktalk Tuesday reviews! Today, she is reviewing the early reader Poppleton in Spring, by Cynthia Rylant.
Welcome, Lily!

It was my birthday! You know it's your first birthday as a new mother when your cake and flowers come with diapers and baby wipes:
However, Rain Dragon gave me an especially sweet gift:
it's a pendant made from a hazelnut carved with a heart!It was a lovely birthday!

on my desk monday
On my desk today is the Little, Brown and Company Fall catalog:
With Starry River of the Sky in it! So excited!
The most exciting thing is that they are offering a display for stores that order 7 copies! I've always dreamed that one of my books would get one of these displays, but they'll only make it if enough stores order it. Cross your fingers for me!
