At the L.A. Times Festival of Books on the USC campus
I had a great time sharing space with other others in the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators-Los Angeles Chapter (SCBWI-L.A.) booth at the L.A. Times Festival of Books in April. Met lots of enthusiastic young readers. Some wanted to chat about their favorite animals, while others want to be authors themselves. What a fun day!
Also in April, I appeared at the L.A. Zoo's "Wild for the Planet" celebration, reading one of the books in my Zoo Crew series. When I wasn't busy reading/signing books, I helped out at the EcoCell booth, talking to guests about the link between cell phones and gorilla conservation.
