Writer and illustrator Tanya Darling has recently published her first children’s book. She will do a reading of My Shadow Is My Friend at the Manchester Barnes & Noble bookstore on Saturday, October 25th, at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Meet the author of this frolicking new book.
My Shadow Is My Friend is a 32-page picture book about a little boy who has fun playing with his shadow. He giggles and wiggles and chases the cat. He is also sad when his shadow disappears but he knows it will always return.
Children can sing and dance to the song included in the book. Tanya Darling will demonstrate the shadow dance. Afterwards, there will be a dance contest for the children. The top five dancers will win a free copy of My Shadow Is My Friend.
Children and parents can meet the author/illustrator after the reading, singing, dancing, and contest. Additional books will be available in board book and in paperback for signing.
The Manchester Barnes & Noble is located at 1741 South Willow Street, Manchester, NH 03103.
Costumes are encouraged. Come celebrate with us!

wow, this sounds like a great event. If i had nieces or nephew, i would definately bring them.
ps: is this a real event?
Tanya, this is a really neat idea! Great press release, too. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for your children's book someday.
P.S. I have a huge book of publishers for all kinds of writing, in case you need a few ideas. :) Best of Luck!
That's so cool! Wish I could come! :)
Tanya,
LOVE the blog! It sounded so good and really thought it was put out to promote a book signing! :)
I think you have great potential and can't wait to see the book out soon!! :)
This was really well done! I'm not gonna lie, it'd be great if it were an actual event (lemme know if it is, lol) because it sounds like such a good time, good luck with the book!
Fun! Can't wait to learn the dance. Uh, we are going to learn the dance aren't we?
I too would like to learn this shadow dance.
The best part about your idea is that I haven't figured out if it's real or made up. If it is made up, something very similar will probably happen soon! Love the interactive reading idea for the kids.
Thank you all for the comments. I hope My Shadow Is My Friend will be published soon so I can put on an event like this.
That was really fun. I liked cat part you did while doing the dance!
I truly wish for you that this were actually happening! Having now seen (and heard) your book, I can honestly say it is amazing and you have a true talent. I hope you are able to sell your book and stay home with that beautiful baby of yours. I know how hard it all is. Hang in there and NEVER give up or stop trying.
