LA Times Festival Of Books April 25, 2010

It has been quite some time since my last entry, my bad. But I just had to blog about our experience last weekend. Shawn and I were invited to share "The Sick Bug" at the LA Times Festival of Books on the Target Children's stage in Los Angeles last Sunday. The Festival was amazing. It is held on the UCLA Campus and some 200,000 people attend over the weekend to experience the multiple stages and all sorts of entertainment. We were featured on the Target Children's stage, which was one of 5 stages there and we were in some pretty famous company...Henry Winkler, author of the "Hank Zipzer" series and the Fonz, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, Carl Reiner, Anna Dewdney, author of "Llam Llama Mad at Mama", Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of "Fancy Nancy" and many many more. It was such an honor for us to be there and we actually put on a good show despite our pre-stage jitters. The kids loved the story and we were treated like royalty while we were there. What an amazing time! Check out Shawn's blog for some great pictures or the website as well. www.thesickbug.com. I should have those shots up soon.

Also want to announce that the sequel, "The Sick Bug Goes to School" is in the works and we hope to debut it this fall...October or November time. More to come on that as well. In the meantime, enjoy the spring weather and stay bug free!! :)
