Arthur A. Levine & Linda Sue Park Seattle Events

Not attending the SCBWI WWA Annual Fall Retreat? Or planning on it, and already know you'll want to see more, more, more of them? There's good news: In addition to the retreat, you'll be able to catch both Arthur and Linda Sue elsewhere in Seattle in early November:

ARTHUR A. LEVINE AT SECRET GARDEN:

Secret Garden Books is hosting Arthur on Wednesday, November 2 at 7 p.m. for an event to promote his picture book MONDAY IS ONE DAY. Author Arthur A. Levine and illustrator Julian Hector deliver a love note from a working parent to a child, counting the days of the week--each one a special opportunity to spend time together. The author will read his book, answer our millions of questions (including questions about what it's like being J.K. Rowling's U.S. editor!) and sign books available for sale. Free!

LINDA SUE PARK AND ARTHUR A. LEVINE, AMONG OTHERS: PLOT FOR TOTSON.
