#WindowWednesday: We are incredibly fortunate to have stores create window features of our books. We want to highlight their amazing work here on our blog for you to see (and perhaps you’ll discover a new local bookstore).

What a lovely launch for An Armadillo in Paris! The event was held on Wednesday, November 5 at Café Plenty with Mabel’s Fables on hand to sell books. A fantastic turnout of friends, families, and fans came to congratulate Julie Kraulis on her second picture book publication. Here are some photos from the reception:
Yes, a knitted armadillo was present at the launch. With an interchangeable scarf, wonder what the colours will be for Arlo’s next adventure in New York City?
Julie brought in the original art to display so everyone could see the amazing details in her work.
A Parisian-themed launch wouldn’t be complete with some treats, especially macarons!
Great to see the support and love from friends and family! But … were they there to see Julie or Arlo?
Editor Samantha Swenson (right) saying a few words, she’s also the one who knitted the armadillo!
So many kids came by to get their books signed!
If you’re looking for Arlo prints and postcards, you can order them from Julie’s website here. Thank you to those who came out on the splendid Wednesday evening and many thanks to the team at Café Plenty and Mabel’s Fables!
