“I am delighted to enthusiastically recommend authors Steffanie and Richard Lorig, creators of the new children’s book Such a Silly Baby! (Chronicle Books, $15.99, ISBN: 9780811851343).
Steffanie and Richard were guests for our weekly Wednesday storytime at our Barnes & Noble Booksellers here in Tucson, Arizona, and they were wonderful! Their book is unique, with a fast-moving, rhyming story and colorful, interesting illustrations by Amanda Shepherd.
Steffanie and Richard were excellent as they kept the children (and the adults) absorbed and involved when they read their book, adding a series of hand motions as the story progressed, and afterward, they made friend after friend as they autographed books for those in attendance.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their book is donated to Art with Heart, a non-profit organization, founded and directed by Steffanie, that uses her therapy-based activity books – Oodles of Doodles for Your Noodle, Magnificent Marvelous Me and Chill & Spill (published by Art with Heart Press) – to help kids in crisis. So far, over 35,000 children have been helped all across North America through the many excellent programs of Steffanie’s organization and through her books.
Therefore, I am thrilled to be able to recommend Steffanie and Richard Lorig for storytimes in bookstores, libraries, hospitals, book fairs and book festivals, and schools anywhere. I know you will be as thrilled with them as I was!”
