[LM_NET] Event:Minnesota.U.S.A. Kate DiCamillo

[Lisa Von Drasek <lisav@BNKST.EDU>]

I am presently reading aloud from a galley of the Miraculous Journey of Edward 
Tulane to our 3rd and 4th graders. The students have been enthralled and it is a 
joy to read aloud. I received this information and wish I could jump on a plane to 
be in Minnesota for a day to attend this event.   The Red Balloon Bookshop presents 
world premiere of Newbery Award winning author Kate DiCamillo's new book "The 
Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" at The Fitzgerald Theater on Tuesday, February 
14 at 7:00 p.m. Valentine's Day is an appropriate day to welcome this book about 
Edward Tulane, a china rabbit learning to love.  The journey with Edward Tulane is 
an extraordinary one*from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from 
the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an 
ailing child to the bustling streets of As readers travel with him, they are shown 
a miracle*that a heart of the most breakable kind can indeed learn to love, to 
lose, and to love again. DiCamillo will present from her new book, which is 
followed by a book signing.  The event is hosted by Minnesota Public Radio host and 
senior producer Brian Newhouse. Tickets are free and are available on a first-come, 
first-served basis at The Red Balloon Bookshop and The Fitzgerald Theater. There is 
a limit of four tickets per group.  Ticket holders are encouraged to arrive early.  
A book signing will follow DiCamillo's presentation with books available for 
purchase.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Minnesota Public Radio
