Event Report: Jeff Crosby's Launch for Rockabilly Goats Gruff

Compiled by Cynthia Leitich Smith

My weekend highlights was author-illustrator Jeff Crosby's launch of Rockabilly Goats Gruff (Holiday House, 2014) at the Writing Barn in Austin.

For the celebration, the Barn was converted to the "Shimmy Shack." Jeff hosted a 1950's rockabilly costume contest (with art as the prize), and refreshments included musical mini cupcakes, moon pies, and floats! 

Authors, illustrators & book event planners: this launch was a huge win with fans...
