John Segal Giveaway
Well hello there! Today's Giveaway has 10 prizes. Which means 10 winners! Which is never a bad thing. John Segal, the first author/illustrator to contact me via this blog, and therefore an internet-friend-for-life, has written and illustrated another fantastic children's book. It's called Far Far Away. And there are 10 copies up for grabs today — all signed by John Segal himself.
My family owns at least 3 titles in the John Segal library and every single one is a hit with my kids. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Far Far Away — I'm already loving the sneak peeks and blurbs I found on John's blog.
Whether you win or not, there's a pretty cool consolation prize. Email John at bookplates@me.com and tell him you'd like a custom book plate, then send him a self addressed stamped envelope (you can find his mailing address here), and he'll make one up special just for you and send it out.
Leave a comment to enter. I'll announce a winner on Wednesday (oops! I mean Thursday). Now — off to the airport. I've been working on a fun project and the photoshoot is this week in New York. I'll be posting from my old stomping grounds for the next few days.
--------------
Congratulations! The 10 lucky winners are:
1) Chelise
2) Leta Joy
3) Sarah
4) Melanie
5) Michelle
6) Diane
7) Stacey
8) NancyH
9) Amy of Progressive Pioneer
10) Katie @ goodLife {eats}
