* Ok, I know this is not in March but it is oh-so-close. And it is a HUGE deal! Mo Willems will be presenting his new book at Brookline Booksmith at 10:30 am. It is free but you need tickets. You can get up to 4 tickets in advance starting March 15th. This will definitely be a sell-out folks to get your tickets early. Sorta bummed I decided to stay in Cali for my spring break this year. Anyone want to be my representative??

* This is for the baseball fans! Kadir Nelson (Caldecott Award-winning illustrator) and Sharon Robinson (Jackie Robinson's daughter) wrote a book called Testing the Ice, all about Jackie Robinson. On Sunday, they will join Scott Simon (author of Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball) and they will discuss the life of Jackie Robinson and then sign their books. The event is free with museum admission and teachers will earn 1 PDP for attending. Starts at 1 pm.
Know of any events in your area? I would be happy to post them for April if you send them my way!
