THE LAND OF SMAERD - Author & Illustrator - Reading, Signing, Art Demonstration December 14, 2008

Bring your children and take an enchanting journey into the wondrous LAND OF SMAERD with local author's Andrea von Botefuhr, Angela Russell and San Juan Island artist Bryn Barnard, Sunday, December 14th at 2:00 at Village Books (1200 11th St., Tel: 360-671-2626) in Bellingham. Silver Medal winner of the 2008 Moonbeam Children's Book Award for Mind-Body-Spirit. SMAERD ('dreams' - spelled backwards, is a world where all things are possible; where dreams, constructed through pure imagination, literally become reality.

A place where dreams live while they are waiting to come true, THE LAND OF SMAERD is, in essence, an enchanting metaphor for the limitless realm within the heart and soul of every dreamer. While suggesting the importance of being clear and thoughtful about what we ask for, the story of SMAERD encourages optimism through its assurance that...
“No dream is impossible, too big or too small.
Any dream can come true, any dream at all!”
