Barbara Cohen and "Forever Friends"
Ever wonder about the life of a touring kids' book author?
It probably works a little differently for Madonna, but for small presses, promoting a book involves the tireless efforts of both the staff and the author. In this case, our own Barbara Cohen, creator of "Forever Friends," has graciously put herself at our disposal during a week-long visit to L.A. in July. We're taking full advantage by booking her for as many public readings as we can wrangle. More details will come as I get them, but here is a list of what we've got so far:
July 8
8:30 a.m.
Barbara will read "Forever Friends" to over 100 children at the Summer Program at the Polytechnic School in Pasadena.
2:45 p.m.
Then she'll read the same to two groups of children at two separate branches of the Pasadena Public Library, as part of the Barks & Books literacy program. Barks & Books allows children the opportunity to read aloud to specially trained dogs.
July 9
7:00 p.m.
Barbara will read "Forever Friends" at the Pajamarama Storytime at the Torrance Barnes & Noble.
