Our Last Schmooze:

June Sobel Visits the South Bay Schmooze

l to r - Suzanne Gibson, June Sobel, Jessica Chrysler

The ever so humble and wonderful June Sobel was kind enough to grace us South Bay writers and illustrators with her presence at Bobaloca on Saturday, Jan 31st. She went over her experiences as a picture book author working with Harcourt and the various editors, agents and illustrators she's had the pleasure of working with. She also read to us, and a very excited young visitor, her books "Shiver Me Letters" and "The Goodnight Train." Both are exquisite picture books for the likes of preschool and little tots - oh so charming and cleverly written! She gives an added dimension to the regular rhyming of ABC stories by creating a journey with some imaginative characters. It was also great to see some of the galleys and rough copies that develop in the process of editing and working collaboratively with another illustrator.

Meets the last Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon or 7pm to 9pm at one of the following locations:
