I think public library children's sections, especially around story time and after school. Offer to do a special program for after school programs at public schools, aimed at early graders. Have a stack of flyers for them to take to their parents. <br>

We had our meeting today. Will post slides and photos in a bit.<br>
Nothing planned for a release party as yet...just got off the plane<br>
last night and still jetlagged. Here are some ideas:<br>
<br>
1) show up at their neighborhood Starbucks and Borders stores in<br>
groups toting their XOs :-)<br>
2) Take your XO with you wherever you go. To the restaurant, movie,<br>
the park, etc.<br>
3) still thinking...<br>
