Register here.What’s better than one virtual book party? TWO-IN-ONE!
Please join us for a cyber book party in real time, online, from the comfort of your home. Gather round to celebrate connection, storytime, small businesses, and everyone’s best friends: dog & cat.
The first 5 attendees to order CAT DOG DOG from Book People prior to
May 6th receive the original and limited-edition poster,
WE ARE ALL ONE BIG (BLENDED) FAMILY,
by Andrea Zuill.
This poster will be available for sale after the event.
A portion of the proceeds of this limited-edition poster will benefit COVID-19 relief efforts and Austin Pets Alive.
A representative from Austin Pets Alive will speak about what we can do for our pets and tips for families considering adopting or fostering
a quarantine pup or kitten.
Kids are invited to send in their drawing of their pets or one of the books’ characters to: info@thewritingbarn.com.
Feel free to share the masterpieces on social media with #catdogdog so we can find them!
For additional fun, print out and bring your CAT DOG DOG finger puppets to the party. www.nellybuchet.com/swag
