Hi guys, it’s Jerry. I’m SO excited! My children’s book, “My Personal Panther” will have its worldwide launch (or “leap” as panthers do) with 3 big, fun events the weekend of May 18, 19 and 20 in our hometown of San Diego!

Friday evening we’ll be at my favorite bookstore, Warwick’s in La Jolla for the first ever “My Personal Panther” book signing. Here’s where you’ll first meet the book’s stars, Lucy and her best friend Aja.

Saturday afternoon will rock! You’re invited to the “Tea & Panther Party” in the beautiful ballroom at the Prado in Balboa Park. We’ll have tea, cookies, cupcakes and we’ll read “My Personal Panther” together. Plus a few more surprises. The “Tea & Panther Party” is a benefit for Rancho Coastal Humane Society made possible by our great friends at Mission Federal Credit Union. And if you’d like a personal panther of your own, Rancho Coastal will have some there. They would love to come home with you!

Sunday we’re at the Children’s Book Fair in the La Mesa town square. This is a terrific festival of children’s books, authors and more. They’re expecting thousands of families! It’s great way to spend your Sunday and it’s free!

We’ll have all the details starting the week of May 7 on The Jeff & Jer Showgram. Meantime, here’s a sneak-peek illustration of Lucy from “My Personal Panther” (We’re keeping the panther under wraps until the book launches. I mean – leaps.)

Mark your calendars now! I really, truly hope you and your family can join us for the “My Personal Panther” weekend!

Lucy, Aja, Pam and I send our love, Jerry
