My Mama Earth Reprinting

Only last week I heard that My Mama Earth has sold out in under 3 months and it is getting reprinted!!
The lovely writer of my Mama Earth, Susan B Katz has been doing the most incredible book tour throughout the States, with readings in schools and bookshops dressed as My Mama Earth! Brilliant! Thank you Susan for such incredible promotion!!
Please have a look HERE at the Barefoot Books Blog, where you can see a photo of Susan dressed up as My Mama Earth!
