Special “Summer Thursday” events are planned all summer long (6/18-8/27) at A Children’s Place located at 4807 NE Fremont St in Portland, OR. At 1 pm each Thursday the store will host fun and artsy activities. See Summer Thursday at ACP on the main page of the store.
A Children’s Place Bookstore Story Time! meets every Thursday morning, 10:30-11:00. Parents and little ones are welcome for warm cheer and wonderful storytelling.
Some of the photo/drawings in my book Grandpa, Do It! I Do It, Too! are from the Portland area – because that is where Austin, the grandson in the book, lives!

Last Sunday Uncle Jake told us about his Storytelling at Once Upon A Story Books as their last storyteller at that location in Belmont Shore in Long Beach, CA. I am sorry to hear they are closing – because I can walk there!) but their website says they will reopen – with their on-line store still going in the meantime.
Uncle Jake deserves his own paragraph and I will do so properly soon. Here is his Mother’s Day wish…
One of the photo/drawings in my book Grandpa, Do It! I Do It, Too! is from the Belmont Shore/Alamitos Bay area and one is from the Seal Beach beach at the pier, which is not far from Belmont Shore.

The first Saturday of every month is a free day at the Children’s Museum in La Habra, thanks to funding from Target. Ring of Fire is the theme from the current exhibit (through June 14th) about volcanoes, earthquakes and other causes of earth movement. They are open 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday. For more info check out www.lhccm.org or call 562-905-9793. I also have more info on an earlier blog here.
