| Here are some pictures of our booth at various locations. We change it to accommodate the setting, by using as many or as few props as are appropriate. We are currently revising Mr. Leif Bearing, as he is of course the focal point of our display. What we have done, is to attempt to bring our illustrations to life. This is the whole point of our books - to bring the story to life - and to encourage children to fall in love with reading! Along the way, we hope to encourage them to fall in love with the environment, as well! We continue to add characters from our storybook, like the squirrel that sits in the tree in the Church Social illustration. Mr. Leif Bearing rolls his eyes and turns his head and even sighs! The Outlaw is a singing, dancing character. The Covered Wagon calls out to you, as you walk by. The tote bags are available for sale, in various sizes, with the book cover imprinted on the front. We also give cotton tote bags away with book purchases. We do a fairly elaborate autograph, whenever possible. We love our readers and we want them to love history and to love our book and to have a generally good time at any event where they come to see us! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! |
