Up to this point, while going on
mini-tour with Rain Dragon had
not been flawless, it had been manageable. So, the Sasquatch and I were fooled into thinking that the last non-local stop on the schedule, Haverford PA would be fine.
But a 6 hour drive, teething and perhaps the start of separation anxiety were soon to humble us. Because at when we arrived at the charming
Children's Book World Bookstore:
Rain Dragon let us know very quickly she did not want to be there:
 |
| Not another book event! |
 |
| Stop signing! |
but as they say, the show must go on. And it did, even though many lovely readers had to wait
 |
| thanks so much for coming!! |

Eeks! I feel like I owe the readers of PA an apology or at least a do-over with a calm baby. She usually is a really happy baby. See, this is her only the night before:

Sigh. I think I might have to rethink my school visit schedule in the spring.
