My Best Vanna White
Huge thank you to everyone who came out this past Saturday to celebrate the release of my new picture book, Henry Finds His Word! Special thanks to Main Street Cupcakes and the Learned Owl Book Shop in Hudson, Ohio for hosting and selling books on my behalf. It was a truly wonderful event filled with books, cupcakes, crafts, and face painting. Check out the photos below courtesy of my step-dad, Mike Haley (thanks Mike!)
My husband Frank, the first to get his face painted.
He’s pretty awesome.

This little girl went with the “bird” face painting option.

Love this photo!

The Kessen Family. If you open a copy of Henry Finds His Word,
you’ll noticed it’s dedicated to Tyler.
I love that Tyler is wearing stripes in this picture just like Henry.

Thanks for having me and Henry!!
Yesterday I went to the library with my 4 year old and he picked out this book – I loved the illustrations and saw that you were from Lakewood (my son was born there! We now live just a little south in Akron) and had to come over to check out your website. 🙂 We love Main Street Cupcakes!
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear your son loved my book!
