Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Washington, D.C. 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 D.C. has 24 national park sites? These National Park Service (NPS) sites encompass a diverse array of parks, memorials, and historic sites. These sites are managed by various NPS units, including National Mall and Memorial Parks, National Capital Parks-East, and Rock Creek Park. Each site offers unique opportunities to explore the nation's history, culture, and natural beauty. While we were there, I even became a Junior Ranger at the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Did you know that the National Archives houses many historic and important national park system documents? These include the Organic Act of 1916, which created the National Park Service, executive orders for new parks, topographic maps, and so much more. Did you know that you can get a library card at the Library of Congress for free if you're 16 or older? Yes, I got one! The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world and a beautiful place to visit. Have you ever been to Washington, D.C.? If so, what's your favorite thing to do there? Enjoy a few photos below from our trip. 🎉 Book Updates A new edition of Turtle Tube will be coming in September. As mentioned last month, it will have a new look, the same adventures, but now under my imprint, Grand Sunshine Press. It's in design and I can't wait to share it with you. Also, I am in the process of writing Book 4!

Hello July!

Puzzles, National Trails System, and Turtle Tube

View this in your browser. Greetings from Kathy Cherry Books! Happy July, reader! 🧩 Summer Fun Are you staying cool? The best way to cool off? Grab a good book! 📖😉 Puzzles are another fun indoor activity. Check out the photo below of an awesome national park puzzle that I received as a gift. My family and I are working hard on it together. 🥾 Trail Updates A few weeks ago, the Department of the Interior announced on National Trails Day the designation of five new National Recreation Trails in six states. These five new trails added 387 miles to the National Trails System of more than 1,300 existing National Recreation Trails. The trails can be found in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. One of these five new trails is located in my town. We hike, bike, and stroll along the Miner's Ravine Trail all the time. So exciting to have this trail protected with this new designation. I added a photo from our trail below. :) Click here for more information on the National Trails System. Do you have a favorite trail where you live? I’d love to hear about it. Just hit reply and let me know! 🎉 Book News! I am super excited to announce a new edition of Turtle Tube coming soon.

Hello May!

View this in your browser. Greetings from Kathy Cherry Books! Happy May! ✨ Yay! One of my favorite weeks just happened - National Park Week! This year, they presented a new park playlist each day as their theme. The daily playlists included greatest hits, alternative, pop, nature songs, classic rock, heavy metal, rhythm and blues, dance music, and ended with walkup songs. Throughout National Park Week, I thought a lot about our national parks and all the memories of our visits there. And sang a few songs too! 😉 National parks bring us great joy in addition to so many other benefits. National Park Week provided us with a daily reminder of all the goodness within this great and unique system. Cheers to another great National Park Week! Yay! ✨ Speaking of our national parks system, I had the opportunity to visit Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the USS Arizona Memorial. It's hard to articulate the emotions standing there on the USS Arizona Memorial. It was though a great opportunity to learn more about the history of this attack on the world and the local impact as well as. In school, you learn just small bits of information, so I really enjoyed learning more in depth information. I even became a Junior Ranger! (I highly recommend doing the Junior Ranger program at any NPS site! Regardless of your age!) On the fictional side of national parks, I'm so happy to share that Polar Post: An Erutuf National Park Novel just won The Golden Wizard Book Prize! You're the first to hear the fun news! Check out the seal below on the image. Last, enjoy my photo of below from a recent author challenge. Love my socks by Conscious Step that supports and donates a portion to National Parks Conservation Association! As a reminder, you can find my books on my website, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop, or request your local bookstore and/or library for them. Local friends, you can also find the three books at Wit and Whimsy Toys, a unique locally owned toy store. I really appreciate your support! Thank you! I hope that you have a wonderful May!
