BOOKS that are food for thought

 TIKI BARBER and Cynthia Polansky
are all smiles at BEA 2007 in
New York City, where both held
successful book signings

              Cynthia signs a copy of
               FAR ABOVE RUBIES
               at BEA '07

    Cynthia and children's author Kristin Harris await their turn to speak with Pulitzer Prize winning author FRANK McCOURT at the 80th anniversary reception for New York City's renowned STRAND book store.  
                  

          It's a little hard to tell, but the Table 5 poster (right) announces one of Cynthia's scheduled book signings at BEA. Just a foot away at Table 4, acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates was signing books.  Why no photo?  Cynthia was still signing books when Ms. Oates had finished!
