The Library's guests will await the reading of Tucker, the Tricky Green Tractor this Tuesday, July 24, 2012.   New Printed book with completely laminated book cover for front side and inside of cover.  This tale will features children with no names, but the story reads better when you take on your own special person done by the author/illustrator!  The child or children will see themselves actually right IN the pages.  This is most enamoring and gives a child a great sense of self. 

Please see this quote from one grandma who had the book made up for her grandson:    "My grandson put the magnet right on the refrigerator with the "wusty" side up. He was excited! He loved his silhoutte and told his Dad, "look Dad, that's me!"

And here is page that set the grandson to say, "Look Dad, that's me!"

http://www.authorsden.com/lynndarby1  This tells of my past journey.  Who used to be shy?  You wouldn't think so.  But alas, I was.   If it weren't for a radio interview of Katherine Hepburn, my life would have been different.  She admitted that she, too was shy and afraid to do most things, but here is what she said: "Do them anyway!"  Oh my, how that changed my life.   If  Katherine was afraid and did them anyway, then that meant it was a way for me to get to be brave!  I saved a shopping center in my home town. Got to write for a newspaper and had my own community news column.  That led to me doing creative feature articles. And the rest is History from then on.  Read and find out how the possibilities sprouted into realities.

Hickmans Crossroads Calabash NC Library is gettin on board for my books...YAY

I am making my debut into Hickman's Crossroads Library's pre-K children's reading program on July 24, 2012.  This will be my first of many public readings. I do hope to fill a calendar in the school system of Brunswick County with my eye on Horry County, SC next.  Wish me luck!

Tucker the Tricky Green Tractor will offer fun, hope and love to children.  I hope this becomes a favorite in their collection and that they recall the tale in their adulthood, too!
