I got my first books by AIRMAIL

Well the first 25 preview books for Family arrived by  express airmail this week and I was so excited I did a happy dance.. Everyone is asking when they can get a book , the Boat left China and will be 27 days at sea I was told.  Then from there they have to Port in Vancouver and be inspected ,go through customs and get declared. they will be sorted in a warehouse from all the other items in the same container. then My freight shipping company will load then onto a truck and they will make their long journey trough the Rockey mountains to Camrose where they will then be unloaded and brought home to My house.. so I am hoping the first part of May  I will keep you all posted on here and facebook when they will be here.
I took Heather a couple books for her and the kids, when they all got home from school she read it to them . They seamed to enjoy the story and picked out little things in the book. they liked the haircut page..and were excited when I showed them their names in the book...Kale was also excited that so many kids would get to see this book ... Cruz jumped around he was excited for this special book.. Kyra was happy that I was going to be going into her class the next day to read the book to her classmates
Kyra's grade one class is learning all about Authors and illustrators, they are writing their own books and I was the first live Author in their classroom, they listened to the story and laughed at the funny parts. they then asked me some real good questions about the book.. it was a good experiance and I was able to fall upon my days working as a Teachers Aide in class and having to read stories in front of kids. I am usually very nervous speaking in front of lots of people but My hand only shook a little when turning the pages...Kyra was pointing out to all the kids in her class where her name is at the back of the book
