I was talking to Tom, a good friend of mine, who is someone you guys out there might be more familiar with as one of the duo from Toe Jam Puppet Band. (P.S. – If you’ve never heard of the Toe Jam Puppet Band – look up their schedule – they are fantastic!) Tom and I were discussing his recent departure from everything cyber. He wanted to focus on the real things in life. It made me think of this book. A simple but powerful story of what can happen when you stop texting and actually look around once in a while!

As an added bonus – click on the pic of the book above to watch the video trailer for the book!

I have the distinct pleasure of announcing that Plymouth Public Library has decided to host a Builing Stories Workshop!  This is for 2nd-5th graders and will begin Sunday, February 24th.  We will meet each week at 1:00pm – Registration starts on Feb 10th!

I am very sorry to report that the show for the Carver Library for Wednesday Morning has been cancelled due to a family emergency.  The show has already been rescheduled for February 20th at 10:30am.  Sorry for the short notice.

I am heading out to the Plympton Library for a show at 11:00 – who’s coming with me?  Click on the pic for more info!

Come one, come all!  This Saturday we will be having another Dad’s Group at the Plymouth Public Library at 10:00am.  Just call (508) 830-4444 to register!

I have added a few libraries onto my calendar who are hosting the Building Stories Workshops!  If you see one near you that you’d like to attend – please call the library posted ASAP to register as space is extremely limited.  These workshops are for 2nd -5th graders.

I was asked to perform at a birthday party this past month – and even though I very rarely do parties – I was happy to do so for a big fan.  The mother said that her children were avid listeners to my CDs and even asked if was okay to make requests.  I gladly did and showed up that day ready to tell my tales.  I was greeted at the door by a very ecstatic young gentleman who was super excited to hear stories at his party – but also I was told that the cake that the mother prepared was inspired by one of my favorite and oldest Moose and Wolf tales “Treat for Bear”  The image above is the beautiful cake featuring Moose and Wolf who have gone with Mr. Bear to eat the strawberries and blueberries that he had picked.  Thanks so much for sending me pics so that I may share this amazing edible wonder with everyone!

Come one, come all to the Whitman Public Library for a winter show unlike any others you have seen!  Unless you have been to my show before – then you know what you will see… but it’s still AWESOME!  The show begins at 3:30, see you all there!
