Jeannine Gerkman, Author of Children's books, Poet, reviews delightful picture books
I’m very excited to announce I’ll be doing a book signing at Pottery Barn Sunday, August 26, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Pottery Barn Kids located at Stanford Shopping Center. Newly pregnant mothers will be due in the Spring of 2019. My book “Spring” would be a perfect gift for their new babies. Come stop by and take a look!
I walked into Reach & Teach to buy a scarf the other day and saw my book ‘Spring’ prominently displayed in their Mother’s Day Display! Their store has lots of unique gifts, hand-picked books and delicious fair-trade chocolate. Yumm! What a delightful surprise! Continue reading “Mother’s Day Surprise”
I met Deborah Underwood at the SCBWI Golden Gate Conference this year in Asilomar and purchased her endearing book: The Quiet Book. There are so many different kinds of quiet and she captures them beautifully and succinctly. This Sunday, I was at Books, Inc. doing a reading of my book Spring for Children’s Storytime and afterwards, a woman was scanning the shelves with a couple of board books in her hands, looking defeated.
I asked her what sort of book she was looking for and she said ‘I’m attending a baby shower and they wanted books instead of cards. I want a sturdy book for the baby, but none of these seem quite right. They’re having a little girl.’ She had two brightly colored board books, one about trucks. I suggested this book, opened it up and read it to her. She smiled, took it from my hand and said: “This is perfect.”
It can’t get better than that.
