Hello September!

Greetings from Kathy Cherry Books!

Happy September, reader!

📖 Library Card Sign-up Month

Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-up Month? It is! When was the last time you visited your local library? Libraries offer so much more than books from free programs and activities to resources for all ages! And let's not forget about all the free books! 😉 If you’re new to your local library, bring your ID and proof of address (a utility bill works) and head to your local branch today. I also recommend signing up for your library’s newsletter to hear about all of their free and fun events.

Speaking of libraries, I had the honor to participate in my library's summer program a few weeks ago. I'm so grateful for this fun opportunity! Enjoy a few photos from the event below.

🦒 Book News

As mentioned last month, Giraffe Graph: An Erutuf National Park Novel will be published later this fall! Scroll down for the cover! YAY! What do you think of it?!?

🏴‍☠️ International Talk Like a Pirate Day

All you bilge rats, Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh! Did you know that September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Dean loves this particular day! He definitely walks around his house speaking like a pirate and driving Reese a bit mad!

Create your own pirate name today! First, pick a color. Next, select an animal. Last, choose a profession. Put these three words together for your very own pirate name. Reply and let me know your pirate name! Mine is Red Dolphin Designer. 😂

🚗 Books on the Go

Fall is here, which means classmate birthday parties, soccer games, and lots of time on the go! Children's books make fun and unique birthday gifts and they're also an easy way to keep kids entertained during a sibling's game or activity (no screen required!). Local friends, visit Wit and Whimsy Toys and/or Old Haunts Bookshop to find my books along with a number of other great children's books! I never leave either store empty-handed!

🦬 Bison Blog

Happy 3rd birthday to Bison Blog on September 26th! Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, reviewed, and supported this book over the last three years. I really appreciate it! And this year, Bison Blog's birthday falls on National Public Lands Day! National Public Lands Day celebrates caring for America's public lands. How fitting is that?!

Did you know that...

Out of all 12 months of the year, September is spelled with the most letters. It contains nine letters, and it happens to be the ninth month of the year.

🗽 New York City

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting New York City with my family. We spent the week learning, exploring, and walking around the city. It was such a fun and educational trip.

Did you know that New York City is home to 12 National Park Service sites preserving more than 400 years of American history? While we were there, I even earned my Junior Ranger badge at Statue of Liberty National Monument! As someone who loves sharing the magic of our national parks through my books, it was especially inspiring to explore these historic places in person.

Did you know that you can get a library card at the New York Public Library for free? Yes, I got one! The New York Public Library is the second largest library in the United States behind the Library of Congress and it's a beautiful place to visit.

Have you ever been to New York City? If so, what's your favorite thing to do there? I'd love to hear your favorite place to explore there. Enjoy a few photos below from our trip.

🎉 Book News

Drumroll, please...

I'm so excited to share that Book Four in the Erutuf National Park series is coming later this fall! Keep scrolling for the official title and stay tuned because I'll be sharing sneak peeks, cover reveal, and more in the coming weeks!

🐢 Turtle Tube

Happy 5th birthday to Turtle Tube on August 18th! I can't believe my first book is turning five! Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, reviewed, and supported this book over the years. I really appreciate it!
