On Saturday 3rd March I was hosted by Infinite Parentesi Bookstore for an author event to promote my children's picture story books. The event started at 16:30 and lasted about 3 hours.
Here's a gif to do a quick recap:
For those of you curious about the details, keep reading ;)
The store:
I love this bookstore! They have a wonderful variety of books and toys for kids. It's also attached to an English language school. The staff were fantastic! So helpful and friendly. A real pleasure to work with, and amazing service for their customers.
My little table:
I was set up with a big armchair to sit on for the readings, and had a little table for my books and other bits and bobs next to it. There were padded mats on the floor for the kids and parents to sit on.
The readings:
Activity time!
Then it was time for some activities. I gave the kids some colouring pages, and they each took home a Fairy May tooth brushing chart. Whilst the kids were busy colouring, I talked to the parents and gave out by business cards.
I made some character masks to take with me, and the kids had fun having their photo taken.
You can find free printables, including the character masks used for the photo booth, on my Free Resources page.
I then gave the parents and kids the opportunity to read the books for themselves, and get a closer look.
I took the time to do some one on one readings with some of the kids during this time, which was appreciated by both the kids and their parents.
I had such a great time doing this event. The kids had fun, and the parents enjoyed themselves too. Feedback was amazing! I sold several copies of my books, and I've already been invited back to do more events in the future.
If you'd like me to do an author event at your venue please get in touch. Just keep in mind I live in Rome, Italy ;)
Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners. To take part, you simply choose a random book from your TBR and show it off. Don’t forget to check out Lauren’s Goodreads Monday blog post to share your Monday selections.
Mousey, overweight Stacey Sullivan would love to trade places with her glamorous socialite BFF, Jessica James—that’s until she discovers Jessica murdered in her own home. Whip-smart detective Rachel Storme is ready to exchange her gun and badge for a gardener’s hat and hoe. But she reluctantly puts her plans on hold when she’s asked to help solve Jessica’s murder. These two strangers from different generations—Stacey a millennial and Rachel a baby boomer—become unlikely friends in their pursuit of JUSTICE FOR JESSICA. But their friendship is put to the test when Stacey insists that her husband, Matt, is innocent in spite of evidence that speaks to the contrary. Rachel, baffled by Stacey’s blind loyalty to Matt, doggedly fights to take Matt down, but with Stacey’s help, he eludes her at every turn. Is Matt the killer or could Grant, Jessica’s husband, be the culprit? Perhaps it was her jealous sister, Georgette or the maid, Rosa? No matter who the killer is, Rachel, by any means necessary, is determined to find her man or woman.
Disclosure: I got sent a free copy of this book via Net Galley.
This book counts towards the A to Z Reading Challenge (Kidlit version) and Beat The Backlist.
It’s bedtime, but Little Mouse isn’t sleepy. He has tried reading, and snacking, and snuggling, but nothing is helping him fall asleep. Maybe Mama Mouse can help? If you want to fall asleep, what do you do? A wish and a hug and it’s finally time to dream.
A lyrical bedtime story for sleepy little mice ages 4 and up.
