This Saturday, one of our books has its debut. Its author won't be there to see it.

"Hollis Saves Halloween" by Pamela Cannons-Wagner is one of our featured books at @tucsonfestivalofbooks this weekend. Pamela wrote this book from the perspective of a child who cannot enjoy Halloween because of a disability, but who still "saves the day" with a good friend and quick thinking. More importantly, the character of Hollis is semi-autobiographical. Pamela was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. She refused to be "inspiring." Those of us who knew her understood that she was a powerhouse of representation, advocacy, action, and change.

In her own words from an interview before her passing: "I may not be able to run the fastest race, but I'm going to get to the finish line. I'll do it my way with what I got."

With her husband Troy's permission and encouragement, we are still featuring her book in our booth this weekend. Troy wrote on her webpage: "I wanted to let everyone know that this Saturday, Pam's dream will come true. It has been a long process, but Hollis the Halloween Javelina will be at the Tucson Festival of Books. Pam always said that if nothing else, she wanted the book to be there. Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing will be at booth 288. On Saturday at 4 pm, there will be the Kids Bookpalooza featuring Hollis. Sean has told me there will be Javelina masks to decorate and all kids of every age are invited."

Come see us on Saturday. Booth 288. South side of the mall area.
Find us in the app as The Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group.
Plan your weekend. Then come create with us and honor Pamela's memory.

You wake up one morning... and you're at the Tucson Festival of Books looking for something good to put in a kid's hands.

We've got you. "You Wake Up One Morning: A Kid's Prompted Journal to Create Great Stories in Words and Art!" will be available this weekend, March 14-15, on the University of Arizona campus. It's a paperback journal built for preteens who like to write, draw, or both -- no right answers, no screens, just a prompt and whatever their brain does with it.

Stop by booth 288 with @smalltoothdog, grab a copy, and say hello. The author will be there. @seantells

We are not just selling books; we're striving to make an impact.

We are building authors, ready to work with independent publishing. We're working to be diverse and inclusive.

If you are writing children’s books and actively building a social media presence, come talk with us this weekend at #tucsonfestivalofbooks.

We are selective. We are encouraging. We believe authors must partner with us and invest in themselves to create a growing readership.

Speak with Sean Buvala at Booth 288, or DM us to set up a time.

Parents, Teachers, Caregivers: Presence is profou

Parents, Teachers, Caregivers:

Presence is profoundly preferential.

Please don't worry about perfection or "doing it right" when reading books with children.

✔️ Read the story.
🗣️ Tell what you see. Talk about what you experience.
❓ Engage the child with open-ended questions, "What will the man do with all those apples?"

Reading is one of the best gifts you can give a child in these interesting times. Strive for critical thinking and authentic, engaged, and fun moments.

Come see @smalltoothdog at the @tucsonfestivalofbooks March 14 and 15 in Booth 288.

Reading is a truly fundamental skill of the free. Read a good book with your child today.

❤️ You don't have to be an expert.
❤️ You don't have to have perfect "funny voices."
❤️ You don't have to worry about doing it right.

✔️ You, parents and caregivers, are always doing it right when you read a book with a child.

Go on, read.
