1. Salina Yoon at Unwind Yarn Recap

ESP_0677forweb

Hi, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I am still recovering from a bit of a cold and from the LA Times Festival of Books. Today I am coming to you with a recap of a fun event that I was a part of a couple of weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago on April 5, 2014 Bridge to Books was lucky enough to host picture book author an illustrator Salina Yoon at Unwind Yarn in Burbank, CA. The event fell on the weekend of the LA Yarn Crawl  which made for a doubly fun event. There were cake pops, yarn, exclusive Penguin knitting patterns and lots of laugh. (All photos courtesy of our friend Katie Ferguson. Thanks, Katie!)

As part of the festivities we had amazing cake pops made by Alethea's cousion Adri, owner of Maskipops. They were delicious and so cute to boot. Obviously my favorite was Penguin but there were also hearts and yarn balls.

This is an awesome DIY cookie jar that Salina made. She bought the jar but added her own Bear sticker. Adorable!

There was a nice crowd there of both adults and children. After everyone settled in, Salina read from her book Penguin in Love. Penguin is an adorable penguin who knits and has many adventures. In his newest book, he finds a new friend. After reading Penguin in Love, Salina read from her newest book Found (pic above).

After reading time, it was drawing time. Here, Salina is showing the audience how Penguin and Bear are based on really similar shapes.

Then Salina signed lots and lots of books. All in all a very fun day. Big thanks to Unwind Yarn for hosting and to Salina for being a wonderful speaker as always. Also thank you to volunteers Katie, Kimberly, Laura, Cris, Dornel and to Once Upon a Time for being on hand to sell books. If you'd like to see more photos from the event, check out the Flickr set here.

Hope you enjoyed this brief recap. Happy Tuesday!

2. Save the Date: Salina Yoon at Unwind Yarn


Just a quick head's up to save the date for this fun author event coming up on April 5, 2014. Salina Yoon, author of the popular Penguin picture book series, will be reading and signing her new book Penguin in Love at Unwind Yarn in Burbank, CA.

That weekend also happens to be the same weekend as the LA Yarn Crawl, so you can expect lots of fun things going on at the store. Cake pops and drinks will be provided. If you haven't read these books yet, they are super cute and feature an adorable penguin and knitting. This even it sponsored by Bridge to Books, founded by RNSL's very own Alethea and good friend Aly. Alethea will be out of the country so I (Thuy) will be organizing and corralling people the day of the event. If you have kids or like picture books, this is a great event to go to. We have an Eventbrite page to reserve your (free) tickets and a Facebook for more event info. 

Below are a couple of pics from last year's Salina Yoon event to entice you. 




Hope to see you there!
