Finch and I go to school every afternoon, meaning we go to the Parenting and Family Literacy Center which is inside his future school. Its a marvellous, wonderful program that is free to all parents and kids up to age 6. It literally saved my sanity to go and chat to other mums and they have free coffee!! The other day the February Scholastic Book Club catalogs came in and lo and behold, Willow Finds A Way was picked up by them for paperback distribution to the school market! We order books from them all the time and I secretly always wished for Willow to be in there, but if it were to happen, I had expected I would be told before hand! What a happy surprise!! Not to mention Elsa, our sweet, kind teacher making sure all the mums at the center know my book is in the catalog this month, because I am too shy to mention it out loud (here on the blog? no problem, but in my actual voice? forget it- I sound a bit like Willow...). Now my next dream is that the first Willow and second Willow will be packaged together for Scholastic one day at a special price.

Bonne Idee Zoe!
I think it's really funny that Willow in French has become Zoe! It is also curious, that all the kids names have been changed and one of them is actually now named Tania! I mentioned a while back that Willow Finds A Way was picked up for French distribution and I received the book this week! It is interesting that this one arrived before my English ones. It is also cute that the title translated literally says "Good Idea Zoe!" My nine year old neighbor, named Zoe, will love it! I plan to blab a bit about the book in the weeks leading up to its realease (just a heads up!) and once I get my comp copies, I will be doing an autographed copy giveaway! Stay tuned!
hello!
