It’s Bunny Tales time! Join 

The Briar Patch

 for a Bunny Tales virtual storytime with author Catherine Bailey as she reads her picture book, DINOS DON'T DO YOGA, followed by a short children’s yoga session with local yoga teacher, Holly Twining.

Copies of DINOS DON'T DO YOGA are available to order at bit.ly/dinosdontdoyoga.

This is a fun-filled dinosaur story with timely themes about kindness, friendship, and being able to see past our differences. Kids will delight in this chomping, stomping showdown between macho and mellow, as Rex, the talon-tearing tough leader of a Cretaceous crew learns what true toughness looks like when he meets Yogasaurus, the new dino in town. With humor and heart, DINOS DON'T DO YOGA reveals the strength of kindness and friendship over bullying and fear.

This event is free to attend. Register for the virtual event here:

Gearing Up!

DINOS DON'T DO YOGA debuts in the next couple of months and thus I'm snout-deep in marvelous marketing mode. Cretaceous crafts? Check! Reaching out to resource specialists? Double check!

I also just invested in a new webcam and am excited to have a camera that I can actually aim at my face. (As opposed to my current laptop one, which is fixed and thus focuses primarily on my nostrils and under-chin.)

So, for any stores, librarians or teachers who would like to see me (again, specifically my face), for a digital event – I’ll be ready. To book a presentation or learn more about upcoming  events please email me at info@catherinebaileybooks.com

Divine Diversity

Every cloud has it's silver lining - and in these crazy times I have definitely been looking upward, inward, and all around for some shining light and happy thoughts. And for me  - that light and happiness can usually be found on a book shelf. With that in mind, here's a great list of of kidlit books about diversity and difference:
