Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. Today’s selection is a definite SLAM-DUNK! As someone who was born and raised in New York City, I’ve been a fan of the Harlem Globetrotters for decades. I’m also a huge fan of Suzanne Slade and Don Tate. So, when I heard about their new book which launches next week, I knew I had to share it with you.
How cool is this! We actually get to sing Happy Book Birthday and Happy Belated Book Birthday because Karen Rostoker-Gruber has back-to-back books that are launching within a month of each other! And the very generous Karen is offering a double giveaway…a copy of each book – so we will have TWO winners!
Last week, SEVEN GOLDEN RINGS was our Perfect Picture Book Friday feature. And today we are so very fortunate because both the author and the illustrator are stopping in and chatting with us.
