I’m going to be on The Children’s Hour

Hi everyone,

I told you sometime ago that I’m going to make a guest appearance at this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival in Marshfield, Missouri. That’s coming up this Saturday, the 27th. Here are a couple of the promotional pieces.

The idea is for me to read a story to the audience during Aunt Norma’s show, and I’ve chosen an old favorite of mine, Little Turtle’s Big Adventure. Maybe I’ll see some of you there on the 27th. I hope so.

The Ella Dickey Literacy Award

Hi everyone,

I’m happy to say that this afternoon at 4:30 CST, I will be among six honorees for the Ella Dickey Literacy Awards. This ceremony will take place at in Marshfield at the Assembly of God. The free event is part of the 16th annual Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival. It is open to the public and you are welcome to invite anyone. The Ella Dickey Literacy Award is presented annually in honor of Marshfield’s first librarian, Ella Dickey. The awards are presented to six national authors who have contributed to the preservation of history.
