I will be appearing at the Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford during February’s school vacation!  Come February 21st at 10:30am – please tell a friend – come together – enjoy the show and then enjoy the fantastic animals that live at the zoo, including my favorite part, the Elephants!  This event will be a huge blast!  Mark it on your calendar!

I thought this was an appropriate book after what happened in the last blizzard to many of us!  I hope everyone has power back at this point – and if not I hope it won’t be much longer!  The book is a fantastic look into a family’s summer night when they are struck with a power failure!  What does everyone do when they can’t use the computer or the phone?  Read it and find out!

I just got this in the mail the other day – and I must say – it’s nice to have appreciation for you captured on a piece of official looking paper!

The image above is a card that was made for me by the children from the Mashpee Building Stories workshop.  I know I had a blast hearing what they came up for stories and I hope to go back someday!  Below are the dates for the upcoming Building Stories events:

I am excited to be returning to the Norwell Public Library for a morning show this Saturday!  The puppets are excited too… I know because I just asked them.  Click the image for more info!

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!
