I've just heard from Dave at Southfield Lib. that Bryan Collier will be there on the 21st after he does his Ann Arbor gig on the 19th. This reminded me that I should let all of you know that if you'd like me to post notices of author visits on the Michigan Soc. of Children's Book Writers & Illustrator's listserv, I will. We have over 500 active children's book writers or illustrators in the state and they will often drive MANY miles to attend a program given by an author. (Esp. another well-known children's author or illustrator.) Some of these writers are teachers, as well, and will spread the word to their schools. I do try to do this, anyway, when I see news that someone special is appearing. But please do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like a extra special push. I can tweet and post on my FB to my followers. Cheers, all! Shutta Shutta Crum <http://www.shutta.com/> http://www.shutta.com Dozens of Cousins. Clarion, 2013. Mine! Alfred A. Knopf, 2011.
