Burlington (WI) Public Library’s Children’s Festival

Get your holiday shopping done early at the BPL’s Children’s Book Festival, sponsored by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. I’ll be there with my husband, Jeff Miracola, who illustrated the cover and interior art for MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE. He might even be persuaded to draw a monster or two for the kids in attendance! Join us and other authors and illustrators at this special fundraising event to benefit the library expansion and Love Inc. Say ho ho ho, howdy, or whatever nicety comes to mind. 🙂

Wisconsin School Social Workers Association (WSSWA) Conference

I’m incredibly honored to be the sole author chosen to display at this year’s WSSWA conference. This 501(c)(6) non-profit organization is dedicated to the advancement and betterment of school social work practice in the state of Wisconsin. My newest title, MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE, features topics like friendship breakups and makeups, sudden and confusing bullying, and the innocence and uncertainty of first crushes, topics that surely meet those confronted by social workers in their incredibly important work. Social workers are angels, and I’m amazed I’ll get to mingle among them and maybe get to know a few. If you’re going to this event, please stop by my table and say hello. I promise I’ll be duly impressed. 🙂
