We’re leaving San Francisco, and want to go out in style! So come
say goodbye… Plus, I’m raffling away ORIGINAL ART!!! And, unlike other
signings i’ve had, i’m NOT signing at this one! Order your books in
advance, email me what you want signed (include pictures if you want something
sketched), and I’ll have the books ready for you to go. Just pick them
up, say hi, eat some cake, and give me a hug before we pack up and leave…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I apologize, I hate that, but I've been mired in deadlines and never seem able to post much else. That, and let's face it, the holiday season is at hand and I'm going from store to store doing my best to pump up the economy! My latest contribution? Here it is:<br />

I've always loved this song, and my kids all know it by heart. So it was a natural that I'd be illustrating it someday! The book just came out today, but maybe do your shopping a little bit early! And if you leave a comment or contact me through my website, I'll put you on the mailing list for a christmas card, taken from images in the book!</div>

Here's the STARRED review from Publisher's Weekly:</div>
<blockquote style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" type="cite">

<span style="color: #00b0f0;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">«</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS</b></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>LeUyen Pham. Doubleday, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-385-37413-2</i></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pham brings an international scope to this traditional holiday song. A youthful couple, donning their Christmas finery, lead a playful dance through the song’s cumulative lyrics as the boy tries to wrangle each unwieldy gift for his girl. Pham’s (<i>A Piece of Cake</i>) eye for detail is evident as she showcases varieties of French hens, geese, and swans, but her paintings truly shine in the depiction of maids, lords, drummers, and ladies who hail not just different countries, but varied periods in history. Milkmaids from Africa, Europe, Asia and beyond greet the children; a Peruvian pan flutist rubs shoulders with a Scottish bagpiper; and so on—it’s nothing short of a global postcard. Musical notation and a note about the song’s origins are included, and readers are invited to locate all 78 gifts. Ages 3–7. <i>Agent: Linda Pratt, Wernick & Pratt. (Sept.)</i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">

<br />
And for those who've been talking about diversity in books, this one's got in spades. My 8 maids, 9 ladies, 10 lords, 11 pipers, and 12 drummers all hail from around the world!<br />
<br />
There will be a special book event for this one on November 23rd, where I'll be holding a crafts event to make ornaments from the book. It'll be at Folio Books in Noe Valley, San Francisco, starting at 3 pm. More details to come!<br />

They seem awesome, so give them a shot next time you buy online.<br />
<br />
Lastly, my cartoon for the week. This and a bunch of other cartoons will be released in a bi-yearly publication called "826 Quarterly", a very cool project that has kids from early age to twenties writing stories, poems, essays, etc. Put together by my local 826 Valencia, read here to find out more:<br />

I've been crazy busy this summer, so haven't had a chance to blog much. So I'll put it all in one go:<br />
<br />
I'm at it again, commenting online, which i'm not crazy for, but it's good to keep your hat in. And the blog is totally worth it -- the very awesome BookPeople's Blog, which represents Texas' best independent bookstore. The people there are awesome, and this is a very cool series of essays they're doing which addresses diversity in kids' books. So if you want to read my two cents, just click on the link:<br />

NEXT UP, I'll be on a panel with the ever awesome ANGELA DITERLIZZI and the marvelous MAC BARNETT at the Decatur Book Festival this year. The festival goes from the 29th to the 31st, and features the best and most noteworthy in the literary field. Our little panel will be talking about our latest books, plus an open Q&A with the audience, followed by a signing. If you're in Georgie or anywhere in those parts, please consider dropping by!<br />
<br />
Finally a little fun sketch I did before going to bed the other night. I need to sketch for fun more often...<br />

Here's all the dirt you might want to know about my personal life, in which I reveal SO MUCH, without really revealing a thing. If you'd like to read a little about my tiny corner of this world, check out the fabulous Sandra Nickel's blog "What was on Her...", where you get to find out tidbits about all those writers you love so much. For the full thing, click here:<br />
