So fun to see little Penny Peacock in Cool Ranch Studio's Etsy treasury today.

giving the gift

I was going through my files and found this photo. I had just given Jonathan (my best friend Angie Brown's husband-to be) a glimpse of the wedding portrait I made for them. Fun memories. Love you guys!

Spider Boy

My cover for Spider Boy, by Ralph Fletcher, is up on bn.com (will be on shelves Aug. 2009). Yeah, another book for a boy!

Junior Library Guild and Skater's Secret

It was so fun to receive a copy of the July 2009 jlg monthly (Junior Library Guild monthly) in the mail today. Skater's Secret, a Jake Maddox book, was chosen as the July Sports Elementary choice! I've scanned in the page that spotlights the book (a great story btw). So very fun. Thanks jlg!

(oh and here's fun article on how the Jake Maddox, Stone Arch sports series is doing in schools. Apparently the kids love them and are demanding librarians to get more! Storm Surfer seems to be the one of the most popular. Yeah!)
