How cool is that?
Sue Eves, the British children's book author who interviewed me on her blog on December 10th, just informed me that the British SCBWI has announced our interview and my virtual book tour on their front page... Yeah!

Charles Best, educational visionary, visits Ms. Shubitz’ class
A few months ago, The Extended Day Girls, and their teachers Stacey Shubitz and Christina Rodriguez, were guests on Book Bites for Kids. They talked about their new book Deal With It. Ms. Shubitz obtained money from donorschoose.org so the girls could publish their book.

Last month, the Extended Day Girls and their teachers, Stacey Shubitz and Christina L. Rodriguez, were our guests on Book Bites for Kids. We talked about the new book the girls wrote recently called Deal With It!
Today I received exciting news from Stacey Shubitz. Here’s what she said:
“Up to the Minute (www.uttm.com) picked up one of my students’ press releases about the book, DEAL WITH IT! Powerful Words from Smart, Young Women, they published this month.
They’re bringing in that student, Amanda Sevilla, and me for an interview. The interview will run on Up to the Minute (which is a national CBS overnight news broadcast) on FRIDAY morning, 6/29, sometime between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. It may get picked up on affiliates or other CBS shows, but if you want to catch it, please set your VCR or TIVO.”
How exciting for Amanda, Ms. Shubitz, Ms. Rodriguez, and all of the Extended Day Girls. Find out more about the girls and their book, and listen to their guest appearance on Book Bites for Kids, here.

Congrats. I am having a problem commenting on Kim Baccellia's blog. She only allows LiveJournal users to comment and no one else. I want to comment but I cannot. What should I do?
Hi there,
Hmm. I noticed that yesterday. Don't worry, I'll count this comment you've left here.
Thanks for sticking by!
Best,
Mayra
Thanks. So I tried to comment again today on Plug Your Book!
Two things prevented me from doing so. Your link is bad but I found the site through Google.
Second, your book is not featured anywhere on that site. The last post is December 17, 2007. What happened?
So sorry about this! My daughter and I are ill and I was unable to update. I'll have a new date for Plug Your Book later today. Thanks so much for sticking by!
Best,
Mayra
Thanks. I hope you get to feeling better. Have a great holiday!
I hope this can count as a comment for today because her blog only allows LiveJournal users to comment. Thanks again and have a great day!
