Last week I spent a magical evening at an event in West Palm Beach, Florida called the Festival of Trees. Every year the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens decorates 30 gorgeous Christmas trees with a different theme and this year's theme was the "Wonder of Words."
I was honored to have my best-selling book, "Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef", illustrated by Jeanette Canyon, selected for one of the trees to be decorated. It was amazing to see what kids did with it using recycled materials for all the fish! Their beautiful tree was in the company of trees with words from Dr. Seuss, Clement Moore, Jimmy Buffet, Maya Angelou, E.E. Cummings, Edward Lear, Robert Louis Stevenson, and even Shakespeare, to name a few
"Over in the Ocean" was first published in 2004 in hardcover and paperback by Dawn Publications. In 2006 it was also released as a board book, and in 2012 it was made into an app. But who would have ever thought the simple words from this book would be included in a "Festival of Trees." Enjoy the photo of my "tree!"
Happy Holidays to you all. May the joys of Christmas last all through 2014!
