I'm always trying to keep up-to-date with publishing as regards children's book. Everything in the publishing world is moving at such a rapid rate, it would be easy to be left behind.
I've just read this really interesting and informative article on the future of ebooks...

It discusses many questions, such as, are print books going away? How does digital affect children’s reading experience? What’s about the next generation of industry leaders? Based on their consumption styles, how will they change publishing?
See what you think...

Interesting things at book signing events?

What do you take with you for interest at children's book signing events? Or what is the most interesting item you've ever seen at a book signing?

My friend has made my son a 'Hairy Scary Spider'!
He looks sooooo like 'Hairy' from my children's picture ebook.
He's to be used at 'meet the author' and publicity event because children love to interact with the characters from my children's stories.
