French Frye

 

True story.  Marie-Louise Gay is the author/illustrator of the Stella and Sam books (now a Disney cartoon) as well as the  Caramba books.  She was in town for the Frye Literary Festival.  She was very nice, but a good half of the room was there for an English show (that's my guess, but the looks on many faces, not to mention those that walked out, tells me I am close).

Some wires got crossed somewhere along the way.  There was no language mentioned either way for the 10am reading and since the program said she was doing a reading later that day at the Dieppe library I assumed it would be in English.

Oh well.  We had a good time and we got our Stella book signed.

Three Little Fairies by Mariah

Mariah got an animation kit for her birthday and here are the results!  It was supposed to be stop-motion, but we went another route.

If this isn't working for you for some reason you can go directly to YouTube HERE.
