What are you nuts for? Eggie can't help it and just thinks of NUTS, of course!
As the rest of squirrels, he spends his time jumping from tree to tree in search for nuts and other yummy things to eat during the winter. Once he finds them he buries them in the ground so he can find them later! Go to the Have Fun Corner and find the free coloring pages we have there for you!

We are starting a Lunar New Year. 2022 is the year of the Black-Water Tiger. The 2022 Chinese New Year Day is on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. That is the 4719th Chinese year. The first day of the Chinese astrological year is the first day of Tiger Month. The first day of the Water Tiger is on February 4, 2022.
Let's eat some mooncakes, dumplings, noodles, pomelos, tangerines and many more lucky foods that will bring you the best year ever! I am starting this new year with a new section in our website. The Have Fun Corner, where I will be uploading some free coloring pages for you to download and color at home. Happy Lunar New year everyone :) Last Friday we had the opening reception of the first exhibition of the book. I printed the Spanish version with subtitles in English. It was great to see people I haven't seen in a while and show everyone on what I've been working so hard lately! Thank you to everyone who made it and to the library because those women are incredible.
Join me and the Bronx Library Center, right across the Poe Park, where the Poe Cottage is located, for the exhibition of the Spanish version of my children's book "Las aventuras de Eggie en Poe Park. La Casa Museo de Edgar Allan Poe" We will have a reading and a Q&A after.
Come to the Latino and Puerto Rican Heritage Center on the 4th floor, and read the book that will be exhibited at the Puerto Rican Heritage Collection and Gallery, together with some of the images used for the promotion of the kickstarter. If you come to the opening I will have a surprise for you! Exhibition open from November 1 to November 30. Opening Reception - November 5 from 5:00 to 6:00pm. Closing Reception - November 30 from 5:00 to 6:00pm. Location Bronx Library Center 310 E. Kingsbridge Road Bronx, NY, 10458 And here we go!
After a month long of fundraising to be able to self-publish this book, I reached my goal and a little bit more. That means the book will be printed in English and Spanish. I will also have available the digital version in English, Spanish and Catalan. This past couple of months have been an intense ride... So much work goes into this, from researching printing companies, to creating all the illustrations, all the marketing and images to promote the campaign, all the emails, newsletters, text messages and sleepless nights. But it is worth. I am really happy with the result and that I was able to pull this one off. Now I am officially an author, and I illustrated my own book. Let the logistics begin. I have to fulfill all the orders, once I receive the printed board books pack them to send, and also email all the digital rewards… I really want to thank everyone that believed in me and supported me through this process. Every person that donated because thanks to all of you I will be able to open new doors and create new paths for me and other people that like me are interested in the betterment of their communities. Thank you!! Laura AF |
