Read and Release

Yo -- maybe you'll find this book somewhere in Bellingham!

I just learned that the folks in Bellingham are doing the coolest thing in conjunction with Chris Raschka and I appearing at the WWU Children's Literature alternative Conference on March 5 -- they are "releasing" copies of Chris' books and mine into the wilds of Whatcom County. Over 30 copies of our books will be left for readers to find in various locations. Similar to the Teen Book Drop organized by those amazing ReaderGirlz, the Read and Release program is a bit different in that each book has an ID number registered at bookcrossing.com so that you can find out where the book's been and even participate in an on-line book club.
