We just wrapped up our time at Austin Wizard World Comic Con 2011 over the weekend! We had the opportunity to perform as part of Kid’s Day and to connect with so many interesting, creative people who are defining the world of popular culture today.
I was proud to be on the same program as Peter Mayhew who is best known as Chewbacca from Star Wars, and who recently released a children’s book called My Favorite Giant which is a whimsical adventure that highlights the differences in people as being a strength instead of a weakness. Although, written for younger children, it’s message of acceptance is universal.
Jan will be at Comic Con in Austin Nov. 11th-13th. Sunday is officially Kid’s Day and kids under 10 get in free all day! Please come see her at Booth 2942 at the Austin Convention Center. She’ll be speaking about the enchanting world of Aventurine from 3-3:45pm on Sunday, Nov. 13th. (Room A in Exhibit Hall 1 – map here)

FairieCon is coming up Nov. 4th-6th and registration is now open; I was a speaker and presenter last November in Baltimore. It was so much fun to see tens of thousands in fairy costumes and “eating up” anything and everything fairy. I spoke to girls, moms, and dads about my books and things to come in the Fairy Godmother Academy realm. They invited me to come speak to kids on the east coast.
Book Girl here! I just wanted to let you know that a Reader’s Guide for Birdie’s Book is now available. Aimed at Parents, it gives you some cool things to think about before you even read the book, plus questions to discuss when you finish, and activities to try out too.
Check it out at this link, it’s free!
Then post a comment, I’d love to know what all you other book girls think 🙂
