Join Carol Zelaya, author of the children's picture book, Emily Waits for Her Family (Richlee Publishing, April '08), as she virtually tours the blogosphere in October on her first virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book Promotion! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Carol Zelaya is a former nurse, recently widowed, and mother of two grown children. She grew up in the Chicago area, where she eventually met and married her husband and where they raised a family. Having relocated to Oregon in 1996, Zelaya began her love affair with nature and its beautiful creatures. Inspired by her surroundings, she started taking pictures and writing. Writing poetry led to writing three children’s books, of course, in rhyme. Zelaya’s Emily the Chickadee books are the true story of the special bond between a tiny bird and a little girl and the true meaning of family. Carol is now moving to the San Diego area to be near her children. You can visit her online at http://www.emilythechickadee.com/.

This story is told in a timeless, three-part series, with an easy-reading rhyme, and is certain to delight and touch your heart. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT EMILY WAITS FOR HER FAMILY!
