NEW, FREE Book

Today, I had a conference at the university on literacy and Gail Gibbons was there.  She shared with us how she got into writing and illustrating.  People were quickly buying up her books when I spotted a new book, Ladybugs (I like ladybugs and always sign my name with one).  All of them had been sold when I noticed one up front on the table.  The LAST one.  It was mean't to be, right?  When I asked if I could buy it she told me to just take it.  REally?!  She said not to worry about it and she had plenty more.

WOW!  Teachers love new books but to get one for free from Gail Gibbons and then to have it signed.  It made my day!!

    That's awesome! It must have been your lucky day. The book was about ladybugs after all!
