I just happen to be a published children's author and I'm totally excited about this workshop because no matter whether you've got a book published or not, there is ALWAYS something to learn from a workshop such as this. I'm registered myself to be there and I hope that more will sign up too. Wahoo ... it's gonna be fun!! :-)
