Spring 2010 Newsletter from JoAnn Early Macken

May 22, 2010

I'm thrilled to announce the arrival of my new rhyming picture book Waiting Out the Storm, illustrated by Susan Gaber. Booklist, in a starred review, called it "lovely to look at and pleasing to read." Waiting Out the Storm is available now from Candlewick Press and bookstores everywhere. Look for more details here. I hope you enjoy it!

Best wishes,
JoAnn Early Macken

P.S. I'm scheduling author visits now for fall. Mention this message when you confirm a visit, and I'll bring you a copy of Waiting Out the Storm.
