Sandra will read from her book and share a sneak preview for Book #3 in the "Guinea Pigs in the Garden" Series coming out soon!
• About the Book:  Gus & Gertrude are exceptional guinea pigs because they are passionate about gardening.  Share their excitement as this delightful guinea pig couple, along with their endearing animal friends, encounter some of the many surprises and rewards that come along in a gardener's year. The story is complete with a flower glossary and graced with beautiful orginal  watercolors by Lee Gildea. Sandra's debut children's book imparts simple lessons through which her knowledge of gardening shines.
