“Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.” -- Mary Schmich

This joyful artists’ book by Lois Morrison gives vignettes of the narrator dancing through life—it just so happens to be a caterpillar. The caterpillar who is a corps de ballet is petite, measuring at 5 x 14 cm when all ten legs are in first position. The story is told on the body of a caterpillar with text printed with a Gocco printer and illustrations in ink and watercolor. Created in an edition of 25 around 1993/1994, our library copy is #24 and signed by the artist. While we may not be able to see this caterpillar grace the stage, Pointe Magazine continues to create a list of ballets from companies around the world streaming free online.

Book Signing: Come One, Come Ten...

I’m getting my message out there one book signing at a time! Now, if I could only figure out a plan of attack to get more than twenty people at a time to show up. In fact, I was hoping to have about one hundred people per event. Is that too much to ask? According to my manager, agent, publisher, publicist and the Barnes & Noble rep... Yes. You’d think that if they were receiving a FREE dance class, workshop and evaluation dancers would be lined up in scores; Apparently people don’t read anymore!
