My mom, Tracy Newman and I will be appearing at the Grant R Brimhall Library (1401 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks) for the kick off of  1000 Books Before Kindergarten national reading program on Saturday, May 16th at  10:30 AM.  Tracy will be performing selections from her latest CD,  I Can Swing Forever.  I designed and created all the artwork for the accompanying Singalong Coloring Book. Tracy and I will also talk about the collaborative process of working together as a parent and child on this project. 

The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program encourages preschool children to read with the adults in their life by recognizing their efforts and offering incentives along the way.  I hope you'll be able to join us.  Bring your kids, grandkids and anyone you know who loves music and reading!
