STAND UP FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES: Hands Off! March at City Hall in Culver City, California

Hands Off! March, Culver City, California.

On Saturday, April 5th, I joined thousands of other marchers at City Hall in Culver City, California, to protest the defunding of so many federal programs that people depend on, including services to schools and libraries. It was a day to stand up and be counted. We need our Democracy!

AUTHOR SHOWCASE, Bakersfield, CA

With Tina Nichols Coury at the SCBWI Author Showcase, Bakersfield, CA

A week ago on Saturday I had a great time in Bakersfield at the SCBWI CenCal PAL Showcase and met lots of enthusiastic parents and educators. Along with eleven other children's book authors, I had eight minutes to show some of the things I do during my school visits. During the breaks, attendees came to our tables to collect information and book school visits for the coming year. I am now looking forward to a number of visits to Kern County Schools. Many thanks to Rebecca, Mary Ann and Allison for organizing the day! Afterwards, all the authors had a delicious dinner at Mexicali restaurant and a chance to relax together.

All Twelve Showcase Authors!
