Hi friends!

Happy Holidays to all!

A MELVIN reading

Special thanks to the precious (4 yr old) Rachel Marshall for sharing her wonderful reading of Melvin and the Boy. You did an A+ job, Rachel! Keep up the great work :) xoxo

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very relaxing and memorable holiday~

I have to share this adorable video of my friend's 4 year old daughter, Rachel, reading CHRISTMAS IS HERE. Way to go, Rachel! I think I'll hire you for my future reading events :)



Here's to a new year filled with much joy! xoxo~Lauren

Christmas Is (almost) Here!

I can't believe Christmas is only about a week away. Can you??

It's funny, I've been in Christmas mode practically all of 2010:
In January and February I created the final art for CHRISTMAS IS HERE. Looked at the printer proofs in March. Saw the F&G's (folded and gathered) in June, and a final bound copy in August! Then began a Fall season full of events promoting the book. I was also fortunate enough to be part of a wonderful fundraiser that put translated copies of CHRISTMAS IS HERE in to the hands of 300 sweet, underprivileged Romanian children . . . Pheeew! Now that's a lot of Christmas.
What will I do next year?

Here's a little trailer that I put together for the book. Hope it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy :)



Happy Christmas everyone!
Love & Blessings,
Lauren
