Last chance to win The Road That Trucks Built – by Susanna Leonard Hill

Posted on July 29, 2017 | 2 comments

Hi, Picture Book Lovers!

I am adding my last extra blog post into my busy all-about-Susanna-Leonard-Hill-&-her-books-and-illustrators-in-July schedule. This is to remind you that today – at 9 PM EST – your chance to win, here on my blog, a copy of The Road That Trucks Built .. brakes to a halt … red light, over.

You can go HERE to read my interview with illustrator Erica Sirotich and leave a comment for your chance to win a copy of Susanna Leonard Hill‘s children’s book The Road That Trucks Built.

Take a look at this fun illustration created by Erica:

If you want to enter the draw, just leave a comment on the July 20 interview post telling us which truck you would want to be or drive – the bulldozer, the scraper, the grader, the paver, the roller, or the paint marker – and your name will go into the random name picker tool I use to determine who is the winner … of a book, not of permission to drive the truck.  🙂  It’s fair and easy!

The month is coming to a close – can you believe it! – ending my part in Susanna’s blog tour for Trucks.  Thanks to Susanna (author), Little Simon (publisher), and Erica Sirotich (illustrator), and – of course – to everyone who enjoyed this with us. We greatly value your interest and comments. 🙂

Be sure to check your email tonight if you entered the draw. In the next post (on July 30) I will announce the winner of The Road That Trucks Built.

Thanks for reading, and … Creative Musings!  🙂  ♥

Posted on July 22, 2017 | Leave a comment

Hi, Everyone!

I am again sneaking an extra blog post into my busy all-about-Susanna-Leonard-Hill-&-her-books-and-illustrators-in-July schedule. This is to remind you that today – at 9 PM EST – your chance to win on my blog a copy of When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles comes to a close. Don’t blow it!  (See what I did there? 😉 )

Anyhoot … Check out all my July posts if you want to learn more about 1 author: Susanna, 2 illustrators: Daniel and Erica, 3 new books: Lion, Elephant, Trucks. You can count on Susanna to bring you fun things to do, too, such as crafts and recipes.

As extra incentive, in case you haven’t yet entered the draw to win a copy of When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles – that you can donate to a school or library if you prefer – look at this wonderful illustration created by Daniel Wiseman.

All you have to do is leave a comment on the July 11 interview post telling us how you would take care of your elephant when it has the sniffles and gets bored – and your name will go into the random name picker thingie I use to determine who is the winner. 🙂 Can’t be any easier than that!

And this is the end of my part in the promotional blog tour for Elephant. Thanks to Susanna (author), Little Simon (publisher), and Daniel Wiseman (illustrator), and – of course – to everyone who came to visit and participate. We sincerely appreciate your interest and comments. 🙂

Next post is July 23 to announce the winner of When Your Elephant Has the Sniffles.

Thanks for reading, and … Creative Musings!  🙂  ♥

My apologies for the delay in announcing the winner of my giveaway. The car accident and resulting medical appointments redirected my focus and I lost track of the draw date, so instead of a morning announcement I’m at the end of the day.

Thank you to the participants.
