Launching Squirrels

November 17 Update: Thanks to everyone who attended the virtual launch of When the Squirrels Stole my Sister. I loved seeing all your faces and having your company to celebrate the book. (And I think we all drew some fabulous squirrels, thanks to Sean!)

Please check out the book page: When the Squirrels Stole my Sister for lots of squirrelly entertainment extras.

My new picture book has just been released and you are invited to the virtual launch:

When the Squirrels Stole my Sister

Written by Catherine Austen and Illustrated by Sean Cassidy

Published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside 

Launched via Zoom on November 16^th at 7pm EST

RSVP the publisher: tdettman@fitzhenry.ca (I hope to post the direct Zoom link closer to the day.)

No snacks or live music, alas, but there will be stories, artwork, and clever squirrels. 

Please join us to celebrate the birth of this book. Thanks!

So yes, this is “launching squirrels” in the sense of “book launching.” No actual squirrels will be launched at this event. If you want another kind of squirrel launching, check out minute 16:30 of Mark Rober’s Backyard Squirrel Maze if you haven’t seen it yet. (And if you haven’t yet, you obviously aren’t googling squirrels often enough.)
