Signed, Abiah Rose Goes on Tour -- And a Box of Books

So it’s time to kick off Signed, Abiah Rose’s virtual book tour. Here again is the schedule for this week. And don’t forget that leaving a comment on any of the host sites (including this one) makes you eligible for the drawing for a signed copy of the book. Hope you’ll come with us on tour….. Tomorrow Tina Nichols Coury will be interviewing me as the author of Abiah, which will then be available in bookstores!

Monday, June 7      Here at Out of the Paintbox

Tuesday, June 8     Tina Nichols Coury's Tales from the Rushmore Kid

Wednesday, June 9  Megan Frances' On Beyond Words and Pictures

Thursday, June 10    Mary Peterson's A Beautiful Fish 

Friday, June 11       To be Announced!

Today I’m following the lead of blogger Catherine Ryan Howard.  She has a post called ‘Things you Can Do When a Box of Your Books Arrives’ which made me laugh out loud.  Catherine was right on the mark about first-time-author instincts when your first books arrive in the mail -- I just got mine from Tricycle.  Thank you, Catherine!   I’m doing what you suggested!


This is amazing!


Just LOOK!


What fun!  My book is rubbing shoulders with Melissa Sweet and Lisbeth Zwerger!

Check out Catherine’s blog (Catherine, Caffeinated).  She has LOTS of helpful tips on her site.

And don't forget to come on tour!

    Diane: I'm going to follow your blog tour because I know Signed, Abiah Rose is a great book. Besides, I'll learn about blog tours from you. 8-)

    What an exciting week! I'm so happy to be part of the blog tour. Your book looks beautiful next to its companions. My own preview copy of Signed, Abiah Rose sits on my bookshelf, comfortably nestled between Ian Falconer's Olivia and David Wiesner's Sector 7.

    Thanks, ladies for spending this special week with me! The good news, and the bad news, is that I'm learning about blog tours as I go!

    Hi Diane. Great interview. The book looks great when I first saw at writer's day. I can't wait to see it at the book store sitting next to all the other wonderful picture books.
