One Potato...Ten!

Ten writers for children. All with something to say.

I Love a Parade

Yesterday was White Bear Lake's annual Manitou Days Parade. This year's theme was "Bear Tales," a celebration of books, writing, and local authors. I had the honor of riding in a float with other area writers...and I had a ball. I brought along the dragon puppet from my picture book "The Best Pet of All" and it was so much fun to watch both the kids and adults smile and wave back when they saw the dragon. My summer is off to a good start.

I didn't know you did this! What an honor for you and the dragon. Did you have many kids wanting to try moving it when you got off the float?

The float ended at one corner of a park where there were no kids around, Library Jewel, and I put the dragon in a bag when I walked home. When I visit schools, all the kids want to operate him and I have to insist on the "look but don't touch" rule.
