There's Fun in Store: A Humdinger of a Humbug...Holiday HoHos at Hicklebee's

To remind you that we will soon be visiting a gifted illustrator...the marvelous Alexandra Boiger...here's a little bit that I created for an NCCBA event several years ago. Many thanks to Valerie Lewis and Monica Holmes of Hicklebee's for asking me to help with those delightful Otter Dinners (I was the flower girl for several years, and snuck in a few scribbles on the side). 

(Is snuck a word yet? Here.)

Year 'round, there is no better place than Hicklebee's to see authors and illustrators. During the signings, these marvelous creatures sit near the wonderful little window-nook (as does our curly-topped author, above). 

Full disclosure: having been, at one time, a Hicklebee-for-real (I worked there for a few years in the early nineties, while the T.K. were very small), I can promise that this is a most marvelous place to find books for children. Just look who's coming on the eleventh of December. God Bless us, every one! Here's a view of more store events. 

Yes, it's going to be a humdinger of a humbuggably happy holiday at Hicklebee's. See you there!
