Another Chance to Shine! Join Us Nov. 18 for a Facebook Live Storytime

Shine! by J.J. & Chris Grabenstein is available now at booksellers everywhere

By East Tucson Macaroni Kid November 14, 2019

Last Saturday we had a wonderful book reading of the new children's book SHINE! by Chris Grabenstein (New York Times bestselling author of "Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library") and J.J. Grabenstein. The reading and activities at This n' That Creative Studio were inspirational and lots of fun, but the timing was difficult for many people to make the event. 

Don't worry if you missed it! You have another chance to hear excerpts from this heart-warming book ... in the comfort of your own home! Put on your PJs, grab a cozy blanket, and join me for a Facebook Live reading of the first several chapters of Shine! We'll also do a giveaway for a $10 Amazon gift card to use toward purchasing your own copy of Shine!

"Shine! will put a smile on your heart. Read this book!" --Jennifer L. Holm, New York Times bestselling author of The Fourteenth Goldfish.

You also have another chance to participate in a "shiny" act of kindness! We collected bar soap for Tucson veterans in need at our book reading, and this soap drive is going on until November 30.  The collection bins are located at This n' That Creative Studio, 7401 E. 22nd Street, at their Holiday Mercado. Stop by to drop off a few bars of soap, and stay to do some holiday shopping to support local businesses! The Mercado is open Sunday-Tuesday 12-5 PM, Thursday & Friday 10-7 PM, and Saturday 10-6 PM.
