The book release party for “There’s An Alligator in Audubon Park!” at Community Book Center on December 10, 2016 was a great time. Always a wonderful atmosphere there, and Vera and Mama Jennifer make you feel like you’ve come home.

We also did a bookmark craft with the kids, and it was loads of fun! And I think they even enjoyed hearing the story.

And there was cake! Many thanks to Jerald White of the Blended Books Club, Brassybrown.com and Community Book Center for sponsoring this event and the Cupcake Fairies for such a delicious confection!
