Knjiga o medvedek

I just completed a book with super-talented Slovenian author, Anja Kokalj. It's a really cute story about a little bear who gets a bicycle for his birthday. The book is actually in the Slovenian language, so they sent me an English translation of the story along with the Slovenian text. I really enjoyed working on this project. The book will be published sometime this winter-- I'll post more details as I have them.

August was a very busy month (projects, vacation, school starting, etc.), and I am so behind on catching up on my friends' blogs. Can't wait to see what everyone has been up to!
