Books, Berets, Friends & Fun!
Yes, last Saturday was fun with a celebration for my new book, THE AMAZING TRAIL OF SEYMOUR SNAIL illustrated by Doug Cushman. It was doubly fun because it was a double book launch party for Elissa Haden Guest and her new book, HARRIET'S HAD ENOUGH! Here come some pics of the celebration.
(Above) Elissa & me in front of Cover to Cover Booksellers. Yep, I'm wearing my beret with a snail decoration on it. (Seymour the Snail wears a beret on the cover of the book, too!)
Below, yummy goat cheese with edible flowers from Harley Farms.

Me, my son Mike & Liz. Mike helped with the mechanics of Seymour zipping around and around the window display on a hidden Lego train. Thanks, Mike! See the video below. What fun!

I love the illustrations in THE AMAZING TRAIL OF SEYMOUR SNAIL. Stay tuned for an interview with the illustrator, the wildly talented Doug Cushman. Thank you, Doug for bringing Seymour and his pals to life.

Charlesie, Lynn & Ryoko (Charlesie helped paint the cool platform to hide the train, and she made the super yummy cookies below left in the box that looked like little mini painting palettes!) Ryoko helped make the cool bug and flower art in the window. Yes, it takes a village to launch a book!

Hi Shirl, Hi Bethany. Wish you could have been there. The cheese by the way was brought by Karen from local Harley Farms Goat Dairy. It was so yum. Looks like you can order online at

Thanks for sharing this event with us! I watched your video, and I do have two remarks:
1. I want a snail train for Christmas.
2. That boy can move! I'm worried that the Snail Police are going to give Seymour a speeding ticket.
Yes, the beret is excellent. Off to look for Seymour on Amazon...
