This month, bestselling author Sherri Duskey Rinker set out on a national tour in celebration of her new picture book, Tiny and the Big Dig, which was released on January 30 from Scholastic Press. Illustrated by Matt Myers, the book tells the story of a small dog with large ambitions. The tour kicked off on January 29 at the Book Stall in Winnetka, Ill., and wrapped up on February 8 at Neighborhood Reads in Washington, Mo. We’ve gathered a selection of photo highlights from the events, which included bookstore and classroom visits, interactive presentations, and more.
