<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kit Skogsbergh has created a petition on Change.org asking Disney to include a pangolin in an animated feature film. Her hope is that such a character will educate and inspire people around the world and help save this endangered creature.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've signed the petition and I hope you will take a few minutes to do the same. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find it <a href="http://www.change.org/p/ask-disney-to-help-beautiful-and-mysterious-pangolins-by-featuring-them-in-an-animated-movie" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

The African myth I drew on for "The Oracle Who Ate Ants" is an all too real fate for pangolins. They often end up in cook pots and they have too few caring human friends to rescue them.</div>

It was my second year in attendance and I had a great time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was nice to be remembered from the previous year - thanks to those of you who stopped by to say you (or your children, nieces and nephews) read and enjoyed the books you bought last year. I hope you'll enjoy the new titles as much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To everyone who picked up a book, I hope you'll reach out and let us know what you think. Feel free to Email me at: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="mailto:author@davidscottlillis.com">author@davidscottlillis.com</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and I will be happy to pass your comments along to the artists as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year's festival inspired me to do more shows and to keep up with this blog, so check back soon for information on my next title and on future events. </span>David Scott Lillishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17434440443434523902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554869245524433317.post-3806471149021913062013-02-11T21:44:00.000-05:002013-02-11T21:44:02.942-05:00I have joined GoodReads.com and am looking forward to uploading my personal library into my profile. For now I have added just a few of my favorite books. I also created an author page for my titles and am looking forward to using the resources available to readers and authors. I'll post more once my profile is complete including details on a book give away promotion with GoodReads in anticipation of my next release.<br />
