Monthly Archives: June 2012

O June, how I will miss you!

The month is coming to an end. If I may say, it’s been a very good and productive month and I am anticipating that the summer will finish the way it started. We brought the month in with “BOOK SWAP ON THE ROOF!” and then celebrated Summer Solstice with “The Art(ists) of Storytelling” and will finish the month with our on-line book fair and

Reviews are definitely IN!

The buzz on “It’s Water Time, Ma!” is a high flying one! I am so honored to have as much support in sales as I have and even more smitten by the reviews that have come in since the book released in late January. While I have tried to remember each one verbatim, some of the written ones are posted for you here.

Pens, Pals and Purpose: The Salon Series

Fair warning: I am taking the remainder of June and ALL of July to focus my energies on making Pens, Pals and Purpose: The Salon Series event upcoming in August. The event promises to be all that my Imagireading families love and expect and I will be unveiling the next phase of Imagiread! Now, normally I would push my events and say “You don’t

Kidz Lits: Author Convo-June

Having noted all types of resources and programs for parents interested in teaching new languages, I thought it would make tons of sense to talk in depth about sign-language. Sign language popped up on my radar several times in the last few months and when something shows its face that many times it normally means it desires attention of some sorts. Shortly after a

The Art(ists) of Storytelling: Summer Solstice was MORE than a celebration!

I pride myself on the Imagiread Community Literacy Series Initiative and I always, always, ALWAYS look forward to the feedback that I get about each and every event. In this instance, this event was very well-received and I didn’t wait around for anyone to tell me how much fun they had, I could very much tell. We had a blast! The program started a

Imagiread reiterates the importance of Father’s Day, everyday

Today we salute patriarchs all over the world. We celebrate them in different ways but the message tends to all be the same; we are grateful for their presence and consistency. Years ago we looked to the males of our families as a source for the family to thrive. As we also did so towards our females, the male role played out a bit differently

SKYPE Author Visits!

Super-duper excited is an understatement (though I have found myself excited quite a bit lately) and I would love for you to guess why. Go ahead, guess! Nope, “It’s Water Time, Ma!” hasn’t been awarded yet but I am working on it. Nope, I didn’t win a billion dollars but I am working on that too. Ok, give up? I will tell you. I

NEW REVIEWS POSTED!

Whew! I have been so busy promoting reading that I haven’t had time of my own to do so! Ironic, I know and today I decided to remedy the problem with doubling up on some good reads and reviewing them for you and your family. New reviews have been posted and I can’t wait to hear all about how much you enjoyed them! READ

Love Jewelry? Wanna benefit Imagiread? READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Imagiread Family, May marked a really good month for Imagiread. In it I launched an e-campaign with Usborne Books and a good friend, Stephanie Duhon agreed to do the same with her Stella n Dot and made out wonderfully at the “BOOK SWAP ON THE ROOF”. She recently emailed me and shared the great news that we are only $30.00 away from having proceeds

WORLD OCEANS DAY CONTEST!

This past Saturday I saw a dear friend, Denise Redman, who right before our parting purchased two copies of “It’s Water Time, Ma!”. She purchased one for her beloved son and the other for a child as a donation. I couldn’t quite decide who should be gifted the copy until I saw an email this evening. The email detailed the happenings of “World Oceans
