I'm greatly honored that BOATS ON THE BAY, along with Cameron Kids' LOS ANGELES is..., has been included on the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBAWI) Reading List 2018.This great list helps teachers and librarians locate stories on certain topics or find books from authors and illustrators in their area.
I'm excited and honored to be participating this Sunday, November 11, in the Grand Reopening of the House of Happy Walls museum exhibits at the wonderful Jack London State Park. I'll be reading BOATS ON THE BAY at 2 pm and also leading a paper boat mobile craft project.
Jack London was not only an author, but also an adventurer and sailor out on the San Francisco Bay (as well as around the world) -- hence the tie-in with my book, BOATS ON THE BAY. I can't wait to see ALL of the new exhibits.

Featured Book: BOATS ON THE BAY
"This event is part of our "Write in Your Own Backyard Series," which spotlights the work of local and regional book publishers. This season's highlighted publisher is Petaluma-based Cameron & Company, specializing in “books that need to be books,” with a focus on photography, art, food/wine, children’s, and other publications of regional interest.
This large-format picture book about all of the boats found on a busy bay is inspired by the San Francisco Bay but with universal appeal. The book features a spectacular double-spread gatefold finale showing a boat parade and fireworks glowing against a city backdrop."
