February is such a tricky month. It takes forever to arrive after never-ending January and then it’s over in a flash. All this to say, my new books come out in just a few days!
If you’d like to help me celebrate The Wish Library, join me in conversation with Vicky Fang on Sunday February 28 at 11am PST. We’ll chat about my writing process and the idea that sparked the series. It’s hosted by Linden Tree Books and you can sign up here.
It’s also not too late to preorder the books. If you order from Linden Tree, I’ll include stickers and bookmarks.
Once you’ve read The Wish Library to your kids or class, share this worksheet with them. They can write their own wishes and make their very own library card.
Share their wishes (or yours!) on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #wishlibrary and tag me @ChristineNEvans.
If you’d like to watch me talk about Evelyn the Adventurous Entomologist with my local library (Santa Clara Library District), you can view my presentation on Facebook. Share it with your kids and class to learn about the behind the scenes process of writing the book.

I think that’s everything for this month. Take care and keep in touch via comments or on Twitter and Instagram. You can find out more about me and my books on my website.
