Where in the World is Sparky???


Hello!

I heard today that Sparky was sighted in Israel! He is also in Cozumel Mexico, Castaic CA, New York City, Miami Florida and New Orleans... Sonoma, San Luis Obispo, Santa Monica, Santa Clarita, Los Filez, Burbank, Pasadena, San Diego, Washington DC, Madison WI, Menlo Park CA, Nashville TN! If you see Sparky out and about, I would love to hear about it AND see pictures... You know like the gnome thing. All of this is very new and exciting for Sparky and me. Sparky is a thrill seeker who loves to go places and see things. So if you see him out and about PLEASE let us know!!!

Thanks!
Gillian and Sparky

Barnes & Noble The Grove LA (June 14) Photos!










Hi!

The Barnes & Noble event at The Grove location was fantastic!!! (This is the Flagship Store on the West Coast) I had a video presentation on a big screen. I gave FREE Sparky the Wonderfish Stickers and Coloring pages and we colored Sparky! This B&N location purchased over 40 copies... All SOLD, except a few copies at this event!

*I have booked another event at this B&N Grove location, August 18th for over 100 Kids!!!

Ten time Emmy Award-winning cameraman, Jim Velarde shot my presentation as well as testimonials of the kids and my interview regarding my "Sparky the Wonderfish Gulf Coast Hope & Literacy Tour" plan...

Most important Q&A for me was the description of my passion for my "Sparky the Wonderfish Gulf Coast Hope & Literacy Tour" which is looking for a sponsor...

More information and photos SOON!

Talk soon!
