Press Release Fun: Me!
It’s the blatant self-promotion game! Starring me! Forgive me, folks, but a gal’s gotta do what a gal’s gotta do. Don’t worry. I’ve at least one post lined up for later this week that will involve children’s books that are surprisingly racist (fun!). Until then, I’d be honored if you were so good as to join me this Saturday:
What: A book signing at Bank Street Bookstore (610 W. 112th St., NY, NY) for Wild Things: Acts of Mischief in Children’s Literature.
When: Saturday, September 27th at 2:00 p.m.
Why: Because we like you. M-O-U-S-E.
Three creative minds collaborated to write this insider tell-all about the mischievous boys and girls who’ve written some of your favorite contemporary children’s books. Bank Street Bookstore hosts one of them, Betsy Bird, on Saturday, September 27 at 2:00 p.m. to discuss one of the fall season’s widely anticipated releases.
Wild Things, written by leading kids’ lit bloggers Bird, Julie Danielson and Peter Sieruta, goes behind the scenes with anecdotes and backstories highlighting some of the most beloved children’s book authors and illustrators in the post-Harry Potter children’s publishing world. Get the inside story on some of the most controversial children’s authors working today.
