The book is now available on Amazon, Borders.com and Abesbooks.com. My children loved these nightly bedtime stories about an amazing driver, his unique race car and his wonderful adventures. Years later, at the urging of friends and local parents I turned the stories into a manuscript. It was very well received by our local community. In addition, the manuscript became part of the 4th grade curriculum at our local school. <BR/><BR/>I am hoping to introduce other children to these stories. The kids in our local community love the story. Any ideas on how I can introduce moms and dads to this book for their kids?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939307862806552522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-89452804066970759372007-07-02T10:38:00.000-04:002007-07-02T10:38:00.000-04:00You have no idea how happy I am to see my book on ...You have no idea how happy I am to see my book on that list.

It felt like I barely got to say hi/bye to people.<BR/><BR/>And I am hoping to get the chance to blog some more this weekend about the conference and programs. And podcast! I'm on one of the ALA podcasts.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-51926437810836314432007-06-27T19:24:00.000-04:002007-06-27T19:24:00.000-04:00Oh, I can just picture your bedside table buckling...Oh, I can just picture your bedside table buckling!
