Nancy Raines Day

 As part of the Junior League of the Golden Isles' children's Character Breakfast on April 26, 2025, I'll be reading and signing two of my books--Pirate Jack Gets Dressed and A is for Alliguitar: Musical Alphabeasts. Attending children will also meet characters like Disney princesses and Pete the Cat and ride a trolley, in addition to enjoying a quality breakfast buffet. Tickets for the event to benefit college scholarships at Davis Love Grill on St. Simons are available here.

Almost 25 years after its original publication, Lee & Low Books has issued a new paperback edition of Piecing Earth & Sky Together. This beautiful book, complete with a foldout showing the world created, is offered at the budget-friendly price of $12.95.

A board book version of Baby's Firsts came out from Charlesbridge May 17, 2022. This is the perfect format for babies and their young siblings to enjoy this classic look at the milestones of the first year. The title has been the perfect baby and first birthday gift--and this new format makes it even more perfect. With 1- and 2-year-old grandsons, I am over the moon kmowing they can have and hold and do their worst to one of my books! Parents who only buy board books for their 0 to 3-year-olds will now have this choice. 

What a pleasure it was to do my first virtual author visit with illustrator Rebecca Evans for the BookMark of Neptune Beach, FL! We interviewed each other, giving viewers a look at how the words and delightful illustrations came together. And we demonstrated an opposites game you can play at home. Watch it here.
