Book Reading at the India Society of Worcester

Had my first book reading at the ISW in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, on Sunday, April 10, 2011.  It was a lot of fun to read Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-ji to a rapt audience of about 15-20 eight and nine year olds.  Many thanks to Shiamin Melville for the warm welcome.  I hope to return  for another book reading soon.  A great experience!

Big Box Arrives!

UPS delivered my personal copies of Hot-Hot Roti for Dada-ji this week.  From an idea that was born during a walk in the neighborhood to this......!  It is so very nice to know that the books are circulating on Amazon.  Happy Reading, everyone!

Thanks to my son and my technical advisor, I am able to post a link to the first review of Hot Hot Roti for Dadaji.  The word "Review" is live.  Click on it to go to Ms. Bird's blog.

Review of Hot Hot Roti by Betsy Bird (SLJ.com)

Hot Hot Roti arrives home!

I received my copy of the picture book a couple of weeks ago. Nice to be able to hold an 'idea' and a 'dream' in your hand! Reviews of the book are rolling in. A very nice first review by Betsy Bird of School Library Journal. She is a well read and respected children's librarian. Thanks, Betsy! I will try to post the link to the review but until then, try the address below. You will have to cut and paste?
