Zebu at School.

Friday was a super busy day! I took “Bubbles the Dwarf Zebu” to both the City Academy and St. Monica School!

I am lucky enough to have two wonderful fellow Kappa Alpha Theta friends from DePauw University, who teach at the City Academy! I spoke to both Ms. Solo and Ms. Stringer’s classes and the kids were wonderful! They learned all about being a zookeeper and enjoyed reading the “Bubbles” story. Afterwards, they bought a book for their classroom and renamed some of their rubber, toy animals “Bubbles” and “Xavier." 

As a graduate of St. Monica, I enjoyed going back to my grade school and catching up with former teachers and parents. I spoke to the literary classes for grades 4, 7 and 8 and enjoyed not only answering lots of questions about poop at the Zoo, but also about the writing and publishing process in general.

Who knew poop and publishing went together so well?

Dwarf Zebut! (aka the Bubbles Book Debut!)

I have always looked forward to my wedding for one reason. No, not the dress. The people! It is totally my dream to have everyone I love right there in one place celebrating. Plus, cake. 

Saturday night’s “Bubbles Debut” party was pretty close to that dream. Including cake! I was so impressed and pleased with the turn out at the party. There were Zoo people, family people, Nerinx/Vianney people, DePauw people, tennis people, older sister’s people, neighbor people and even a few stranger people (but, hey, the more the merrier, right?). And it was awesome. 

I felt a little bit like Santa Claus as everyone waited to come forward to purchase their books. But I was truly happy to see and talk to everybody. I want to thank everyone that came to the party. It was certainly an event I will remember forever.

And that was some pretty sweet cake.
