Thank you.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm now in Glendale, AZ, quite a distance for you to come for a library event, or I'd love to have you here. But, I'm passing on the word to the librarians here, particularly at our Main library, where they've planted milkweed for the monarchs. And, I didn't know that until I talked about your book this week. I just thought it was a wonderful book to present here with our Hispanic residents.<br /><br />Good luck, Mary Alice!<br />LesaLesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-57803761087102564522011-03-18T15:16:10.370-05:002011-03-18T15:16:10.370-05:00Hi Lesa,

If you have a library event that you'd like me to speak at regarding my book and all the monarchs that fly through your area, please let me know. I'd love to come.<br /><br />The monarchs have left the sanctuaries and are on their way!<br /><br />Much love,<br />Mary AliceMAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337268018104161557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-34760846263323857582011-03-17T20:27:10.657-05:002011-03-17T20:27:10.657-05:00I've read many of them and enjoyed them, too, ...I've read many of them and enjoyed them, too, Ingrid.

I mentioned it at our librarians' brown bag luncheon. It turns out that Glendale is a stop for the monarch butterflies on their migration. We have a garden at the library, and they've planted milkweed there to serve as a host for the butterflies. This book would actually be an excellent choice in our community.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-38225361721903285852011-03-17T05:16:24.868-05:002011-03-17T05:16:24.868-05:00Sounds like an interesting book with a very origin...Sounds like an interesting book with a very original plot!
