The Gorilla Picked Me Children's Book Spotlight & Giveaway

Okay.  I was SO this little girl.  The only recess school team I was ever picked for was for soccer matches--but, you could count on me being picked at least somewhat early for spelling bee challenges or weird "Jeopardy" games at school...& sometimes math fact races on the old-school chalkboards.  But.  I remember very well when Manuel, a sombrero wearing, Spanish singer chose to "sing to me" during a high school Spanish club outing to a local college event.  Bumping the top of my head with his silly sombrero.  But.  He picked me.  While I was certainly embarrassed by the attention at the time--I was really pretty happy that he picked me.  (And I still know the words to De Colores..really..seriously...all of them..)  Getting "picked" matters--and I am excited to feature The Gorilla Picked Me in my book spotlight today! Check out the book and learn about the author--and enter to win a copy of the ebook in the book tour giveaway at the end of this post!
