I actually love some kiddie books and this one by Karen Andrea rates up there, so I take great pleasure in spreading the word. It is for 8-12 year olds and also for adults like me. 
It is an amazing adventure in enjoying the magic of books. Maybe you and your kiddies would like it too?

I’ve met Ms. Andrea and enjoyed our chat about books and children over coffee. I often try and meet the authors of books that I’ve read but I haven’t been invited to tea by any famous ones, yet. 
Who have you read, watched, adored and tried to meet in ‘the entertainment/writing industry’? (in a non-stalkerish way of course) Years ago, I tried to meet Sinead O’Connor and contacted her several times via email. I never got a response. *whispers* I’m still available for tea, Ms. O’Connor.

Wow. This reads like one of those silly things on tv, I know the cousin of the janitor who is the brother of (celeb name) chauffer. (Cat, delete after reading, or delete before reading. HA!!)
= A neighbor of mine was related to singer Bobbie Womack but I never got to meet BW.
= My mother met Sam Cooke. A woman my mother did health care for is a relative of the beautiful Jayne Kennedy. I wanted to tell the relative to call me when Jayne came visiting.
= A cousin took a picture with actor Shamar Moore.
= The guy that Richard Pryor played in that racing movie is from my town. I regret not trying to meet him before he passed.
= A cousin would have been in the olympics but the U.S. boycotted that year.
= I sent Staceyann Chin an E asking if I could add her to my blogroll and she replied yes. She wrote a little more than that so that is an E I’ll be keeping.
= A professional ball player lived on my block when we were kids.
= I’ve corresponded a couple of times with Dipstick who has a book out, co-authored with her business partner, Lipstick.
= I know of a fellow blogger (wink) who will soon have a book published. She’s an American who lives in England. I hope she will put one of her short stories on her blog.
