It felt SO good to be working again. I woke up early today because I was excited about doing something familiar. By 9am I was heading to the Bronx Zoo for Susan Stockdale’s book signing. Peachtree Publishers just published her new children’s book, CARRY ME: Animal Babies on the Move. Susan is the author and illustrator of this beautiful book that details all the different ways animals from around the world tote their babies around.
The signing went very well. Susan and I arrived on the scene and did some rearranging to better promote the event. She was set up in the back of the gift shop and even though it was overcast and chilly today, we moved outside to grab people’s attention. Within the first five minutes we’d sold 3 books. We both agreed that it was 3 more than we would’ve sold tucked out of the way in the back of the gift shop. The signing went for three hours and Susan had a nice steady stream of onlookers and we ended up selling quite a few books. Tomorrow we’ll do it all again.
