Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group Returns to the Desert Foothills Book Festival October 17
SCOTTSDALE, AZ– Five years ago, Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group was set up at the very first Desert Foothills Book Festival. This October, the Arizona-based independent children’s book publisher is coming back.
“We were happy to be at the inaugural festival five years ago. The event has grown amazingly. We can’t wait to share our unique books with the guests,” said Sean Buvala of Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group.
Four Small-Tooth-Dog authors will be in the tent throughout the day, meeting readers, talking about their work, and visiting with families. There are no formal presentations, just authors and readers sharing a love of good children’s books. Families are encouraged to stop by, pick up a book, and say hello.
Books available at the tent include “The Fox and the Crow” and “The Gecko Is on the Cover” by Sean and Michelle Buvala, “There’s Good All Around” by Tamera Norwood, and “Ten Ballet Dancers” by Amanda Malek-Ahmadi.
Free take-home activity kits with included art supplies will be available while supplies last. Stop by the tent and ask for one. Come early.
Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group is an Arizona-based independent children’s book publisher with 10 years of operation, focused on family literacy and quality children’s literature.
