Claudia McGehee, Liza Ketchum, Phyllis Root and I have been having a wonderful time talking about our new book Begin with a Bee. 

On  Tuesday night we were part of a zoom book party to launch our book. Even though we couldn’t be in person it was great fun to talk about how the book came to be with all who tuned in. And on Thursday Claudia and I had the opportunity to chat about the book with Charity Nebbe on Talk of Iowa – https://www.iowapublicradio.org/show/talk-of-iowa/2021-05-28/two-new-nature-based-childrens-books

And we are not done. If you’d like to join Claudia and me, hear the story, take home a paper bee, eat a cookie, join us next weekend:

Saturday, June 5 @10:30 a.m.  Next Page Books  1105 Third Street SE, Cedar Rapids IA  52401

Sunday June 6 @2:00 p.m.   The Perfect Blend  224 First St. W. Mount Vernon IA  52314
