If you invite an author to Dogfest, she’ll definitely say “yes!”
She’ll be so happy she’ll call all her friends. (Even her dentist!)
Then she’ll post it on Facebook.
If she posts it on Facebook then she’ll Tweet about it, put it on Instagram, and a gazillion kinds of other social media.
When it gets on social media, she’ll start getting replies!
Replies that people say they’re coming will make her so excited she’ll probably faint.
If she faints she might not remember to write it down in her appointment book.
The next day she’ll check this page and see that not only is she going but she’s also the Honorary Chairman.
She’ll be so happy.
And, chances are
If she’s so happy
She’ll want to call all her friends. (But, not her dentist!)

How do I reach you to ask about employing your book “if you give a mouse a cookie” into and advocacy campaign. I have found that your book always draws a smile and you descriptions and clarity explain our issue better than anything else.
