Please join me for the official book launch party: Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 3pm. Book People, Austin.

In 2007, I had a first draft of this story. Today, the first hardcover author copy, along with a few f&gs arrived! But nobody was home to whoop and holler with me.

So…

I gingerly pulled my book babies out of the stork envelope.

I had a private “Lookee, lookee, I have a book!” moment.

Then I had a proud mama moment.

I had a smoochy “welcome to the family” moment.

I had a goofy, giddy moment.

Right away, I hosted my first story time

and broke up the typical sibling squabble about who gets Mom’s lap.

They had to take turns turning the pages.
