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.
