Happy Summer!

 

I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start and you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. I trust you've been enjoying a bit of vacation as well. There's no summer vacation for Hameray though! Here are a few things we've been up to:

Joy Cowley Visits San Diego!

Joy will be in San Diego visiting the Hameray office from July 27-31, to record narration for the Red and Orange Sets of the Joy Cowley Collection. These will join the Green Set, which she recorded in February. We're looking forward to hosting Joy, and getting the real Mrs. Wishy-Washy some California sun! 

 

Hope your summer is warm, bright, and fulfilling! But remember to take a break from the heat. Curl up in your air-conditioned house and pick up a book!

Sincerely, 

Bill

Celebrate Independence Day with 

George Washington

Written by Barbara Schubert

 

First President of the United States 


George Washington is called the Father of Our Country. But how well do we really know the nation's first president? Do we know his real date of birth? Did he really chop down his father's cherry tree? How did he become a great military leader? Why does he always look so stern? This fascinating story of Washington's life answers all these and many more intriguing questions about the nation's founding father.
