New Review
I love Google Alerts. This one came in yesterday:
www.canadianteachermagazine.com/reviews/non_fiction/Lets_Go.shtml
A lovely new (or new to me) review for Let’s Go!
Are you an author? Ever tried out the Google Alert thing? It’s a wonderful way to find out when something about your book is posted online, or at least when Google finds out about it.
When you set up the alert, make the keyword(s) your book title. So long as you’re not offended when you see it auctioned on ebay, it’s fascinating to see where it pops up!

Book Week Website
The new website for this year’s Children’s Book Week is up!
It’s simply www.bookweek.ca and it’s a great resource of everything you want to know about it.
And since I wrote this year’s TD Grade One Giveaway book, rumour has it that I might be doing a bit of travelling too.
I’ll spill when there’s something to spill!

Late Mail Surprises
I had a couple nice surprises in the mail recently.
One was a package of my author’s copies of Babybug. My poem was reprinted in it. Back in May/June 08. See my blog post for more on that.
And then my publisher’s publicist sent me two nice review clips for Let’s Go! One was from School Library Journal (scroll waaaay down) (and I’m ignoring the fact they spelled my last name wrong) and the other from Professionally Speaking (scroll down some there too). Cool! Okay, so they were from last August and June. They’re new to me.
I really don’t mind the fact this news came late. It’s kinda nice to spread good news out over time. You can enjoy each bit a little more, you know? But then again I always was the type of kid who could make, and enjoyed making, any sort of good thing–candy!–last as long as possible.
A little bit of sugar can go a long way, don’t you think?

Oh, Wow!!
It’s finally official. Let’s Go! has been announced as the 2009 Grade One Giveaway Book sponsored by TD Canada Trust and the Canadian Children’s Book Centre.
Woo-hoo!!!
This means that in November grade 1 kids all across Canada will get a special copy of the book!!!! For free!! That’s like 500,000 kids. I’m kinda speechless.
While I have known about this for awhile, my family was starting to think I was delusional since, you know, if I say it’s true it doesn’t actually really truly mean it’s true (good life lesson that, although sometimes you’d like to be taken on your word). But I can doubt my own sanity–on this matter–no longer. There’s proof out there!!
Too cool.
This is a terrific program that’s been in place for several years now. I know my own kids, who will sadly all be just past that grade 1 milestone next fall, have really enjoyed getting books from this program in the past.
I am truly honoured and lucky to have had such excellent collaborators with this book. Scot Ritchie. Maple Tree Press. Thank you!!!
