An Unpardonable Lapse

| | Comments (0)
I cannot believe that it's been so long since my last post. How terrible I am!

Don't worry, I'm still here. I'm working on a lot of things these days: our next catalog will be mailing in a few weeks. A warning: it's going to be a slim one. This spring, the website will be the only place to browse our entire selection of books. I hope this change doesn't cause too great an inconvenience, but we'll see.

Another project is our the upcoming book, which should be released in May, entitled Romina's Rangoli. It's about a girl who is half Mexican and half Indian. More on that in a later post.

For the fall, we will be publishing a book that takes place in Japan. The most exciting thing about this is that the author and illustrator are both from Japan, and in two weeks, I will be in Tokyo visiting with the author, Holly Thompson. How exciting is that! E and I will visit with her, then we will join a tour to Osaka, Kyoto, and surrounding areas. That will be an amazing trip. I may even be able to post some pictures if we have an internet connection.
