Winchester Children's Festival

April 20, 2009

Scene from Red Carpet Chronicles puppet show

“The 17th annual Winchester Children’s Festival was a huge success on Saturday, April 18th. The Friends of Winchester provided tours of the breathtaking desert garden in bloom and I was busy signing books. The Winchester skate club did a re-creation of the book using puppets. I was humbled as I heard my words from the book featuring some of my favorite plants. They even had a Terri Terrain puppet. Thank you, Hector, for the time you spend with those wonderful boys.”
- Becky Davis, Author Red Carpet Chronicles

Red Carpet Debut

March 27, 2009

Becky Davis and a young friend enjoy reading.

Author Becky Davis shares her thoughts from the book debut:
“I had an amazing time at the book debut on Saturday. The whole project came full circle with so many people in attendance that helped make this possible. Our hope is to educate students from all over the valley about desert plants. So much wildlife has come back into the garden since Winchester restored much of it’s natural habitat to the park. There was a bird above us the entire time that just squawked away and wouldn’t leave. I loved it. No background music required.”
