About 50 friends and young fans of picture book author Wendy Henrichs turned out tonight for her book signing in the At Home Store in Fairfield, Iowa.

Here’s Wendy with Britt Deerberg and Lori Dawson, her critique buddies.

I Am Tama, Lucky Cat and When Anju Loved Being an Elephant are the two new picture books Wendy read.  Both came out this year!  I reviewed these books for Writers Voices.

Wendy handed out cookies she’d made to extend the fun.

Elephants for Anju and Lucky Cats for Tama.

She shared preliminary illustration sketches, too.  Wendy’s “first real gig” was a smashing success!  Thanks, Rosie, for supporting writers in the At Home Store!

Here’s a photo of me with Rosie. You can hear my interview with Wendy on KRUU.
