Cynthia C. Phillips presents and signs Read to Your Pets
Mrs. Phillips knows that her second grade students are not reading out loud very well and many students lack self-confidence. Her homework assignment asks the students read to their pets that night. Some succeed, some don't, and some read to their toys, little brothers and sisters, or parents and grandparents instead of pets!

Hilary Malloy presents and signs Skater Kate

This award-winning tale takes us into the storytelling of a young girl and her earnest attempts at being a writer, musician, artist, skateboarder, sister, daughter, best friend and muse. As she stumbles through these adventures, we experience her many revelations, and share in their pondering. With its thought provoking words and powerful imagery, we listen as she discovers what it means to be connected to another person who inspires her, and how she can be the same instrument to someone else. Does this type of connection reside in nature as well, and further, is it equally a part of her? A modern fable for all generations, boy or girl, young or old. Skater Kate is already on its way to permanence in the literary and visual communities.
