I appreciate being able announce various book events.

One of the most fun ways I am involved with the world of children's literature is by arranging author appearances for Pooh Corner book store in Madison, Wisconsin. About six months ago I got this idea in my head that I wanted to celebrate the talent and dedication of children's book writers and illustrators from the midwest. After getting carried away. . .

On April 24th, I am excited to announce that we are simultaneously welcoming 19 of the finest writers and illustrators from Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to Pooh Corner East. All 19 authors and illustrators are coming to meet customers, sign books, and many are making presentations.

Together they have published more than 300 books for children and been recognized by dozens of national awards and citations.

In alphabetical order, with a title or two following their name to help you recognize their work.
