Up North…

This week my family and I have been enjoying a wonderful week in northern Michigan where we own a lake house on Long Lake about 10 miles SW of Traverse City.

There is a great little children’s bookstore on Front Street in downtown Traverse City that has invited me to do a book signing Friday evening from 6pm-8pm. It’s called Up North Kids. The store is relatively new to this popular street lined with fabulous shops and restaurants. I took a quick pic of the store front yesterday while in town doing some other promotion for the event.

This friday is the first  ”Friday Night Live” event. It’s like a block party on steroids.  All the shops and vendors along Front Street stay open late, the street is closed to traffic and families are free to roam around listening to music, shopping and eating their way through some of the best food this area has to offer.

Up North Kids-Traverse City, Michigan

Should be lots of fun and I’m really looking forward to reading “Katie and the Magic Umbrella” to the folks “Up North”!

I’ll also be doing a quick live interview with Charlie D of WCCW-FM 107.5FM  at 8:15am Friday morning to promote the signing and talk about kids and weather. To take a listen you can log on to www.wccwi.com
