Dancing for the Stars a Smash!

Our fourth annual Dancing for the Stars was so much fun and was so successful! The highlight was the appearance of Star of Hope Orphanage founder and director Leonard Muyelele! This was Leonard's first time out of Africa and we made sure his trip was memorable. Even though we've been having our hottest summer in years, Leonard, coming from Kenya, was always just a bit chilly. At our dance I was fortunate enough to be able to announce that the book I wrote and will illustrate based on Star of Hope will be published by Sleeping Bear Press!!! (When? who knows? 2014?).
