Dude - Book Launch!

The Dude - Book Launch at Antisocial was a huge success! I will be posting pictures shortly, but here's a sneak peek at what some of the children were doing while everyone was mingling with some refreshments! Feel free to print a copy for your children to colour!

BookCamp Vancouver

The BENJAMIN brown team attended BookCamp Vancouver on Friday. The sessions I attended were mainly marketing based.

Starting with Lori Dunn and Angela Crocker with a discussion on Book Marketing From a Reviewer's Perspective. Main topics including; book's with actual movie trailer's to get audiences engaged before the book arrives. Being interactive - blogging, commenting on related blog posts, the importance of being genuine.

The second session with Thad McIlroy and Monique Trottier: Optimal Use of Social Media for Authors and Publishers. Main topic was Time Management, linking social media tools together, ie. Facebook and Twitter, allows you to save time by doing half the work!

Getting to zero: Who Gets Paid When Books are Free? Sean Cranbury started the discussion on online books, and how they will effect the publishing industry. After an online book is initially purchased, the consumer can then share the book with friends with no added cost. Very interesting points were made for and against e-books, but actual tangible books will always be a staple for book lovers everywhere.

Ending with Deanna McFadden discussing Content Would be King...Making your words work on the web. An interesting conversation on the importance of author blogging and how it can grow their audience before the book is even released.

Overall the day was very successful, well run, informative and interesting! Thank you to everyone involved in Bookcamp Vancouver. I look forward to next year!

5 Minutes for Books

5 Minutes for Books is an amazing website run by a group of women that absolutely love books. Ever since they were little, they have never been without a book on the go. This continuous hobby has grown into a beautiful website discussing many of the amazing books they have enjoyed.

Dawn Mooney, a reviewer for "5 Minutes for Books" just loves Christopher Aslan's Wenda the Wacky Wiggler! Here's a peek at what she had to say:

"...When I first laid eyes on the illustrated cover for Wenda the Wacky Wiggler, I was immediately hooked. The bright colors and fun typeset were positives, but mostly it was that little girl with a gentle but confident smile, arms crooked in a self-assured way, wearing some unexplained hat and glasses. Hooked.

...Positive messages abound in children's books, and presenting it in a way that doesn't come off too preachy can sometimes be challenging. Wenda's tale is depicted in a heartfelt and straightforward manner, succeeding in being touchy and dear, without going overboard."

Read what the The Friendly Book Nook had to say about Wenda the Wacky Wiggler!

"Girls and boys who have trouble sitting still will especially enjoy this book. When the music is taken away and Wenda can no longer dance, she makes her own music in her head. Many children can relate to this. Children's bodies seem to need to MOVE. It is hard for many to sit still. This book takes that a step further and encourages children to be who they are and develop their talents. It encourages children to be joyful. I enjoyed this book and I know children will enjoy it also. I would recommend 'Wenda...' for preschoolers through third grade." - Sally

'Wenda the Wacky Wiggler' is the second book in the publisher's 'Rainbow Collection'. The first book, 'Lilly and Lucy's Shadow', encourages children to overcome their fears."

"'Lilly and Lucy's Shadow' follows Lilly and Lucy as they decide if they should be scared of their shadow or embrace their fear. The Spark, Brownie-aged were enthralled with the story. They recognized the importance of being a friend and supporting each other, and not allowing someone else to influence your decisions.

'Wenda the Wacky Wiggler' is an ideal book to read to Sparks, Brownies and yes, even Guides... The girls enjoyed the story and were able to articulate that being oneself is important. The girls discussion around the story was helpful in demonstrating individuality, and being true to oneself."
- Ann Hoisen, Girl Guides of Canada, B.C
