Grace Lin's "Ling & Ting" book launch ~ June 19th
To celebrate the release of her new book Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same, author Grace Lin is hosting a party! Here are the details:
WHAT: Come celebrate Ling & Ting’s book birthday! My very first early reader will be available on June 19th and I’m
having a party for it! As usual, I will be reading and signing and giving away cupcake + more loot-filled goodie bags!
And the fun game this time? It’s a costume party! Ling and Ting are twins so… Come with a friend (or relative) in a MATCHING OUTFIT and get a special-while-they-last-handmade prize!!
WHERE: Porter Square Bookstore
25 White St. Cambridge, MA, USA
617-491-2220WHEN: Saturday, June 19th 3pm
Feel free to invite others and spread the word! The more the merrier! If you can, please RSVP gracelin(dot)manager(at)gmail(dot)com so I have an idea of how many goodie bags I should make–but you can always show up last minute, I’ll make extras! Hope to see you!!
Not local? Don’t worry! I’m going to have some online fun available too! Stay tuned…
To give you a bit of a sneak peak, I’ve made a short little book trailer (my niece, Lily, did the voice)!
So far Ling & Ting has received three starred reviews with Booklist saying that it will “…suit the target audience beautifully.” And most recently, Shelf Awareness declared that Ling & Ting is “…sure to be a hit. Young readers will clamor for more adventures about these charming sisters.”
Grace’s previous book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon was a huge success and won many awards including the prestigious Newbery Honor. It was chosen as one of seven books in our Spirit of Paper Tigers Book Set and Grace is one of our nominations for the 2011 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
