Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. April 20 + 21.
3am.
Penelope Kitten is siting at her vintage Smith Corona typewriter tap tap tapping on the keys.
“It was a dark and stormy night.”
penelope kitten: no, that’s not right.
She tears out the paper, crumples it up, and throws it over her shoulder.
“Call me Ishmael.”
penelope kitten: nope.
She tears out the paper, crumples it up, and throws it over her shoulder.
“It was the best of times it was … the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.”
penelope kitten: oh yeah!
Penelope leaps off her chair and starts beatboxing. Loudly.

penelope kitten: books and cats and books and cats and books and cats …
Cynthia and Marcy enter.
Cynthia: It’s 3am!
Marcy: We were sound asleep!
Cynthia: Why are you beatboxing in the middle of the night?
The downstairs neighbors pound on their ceiling.
Marcy: Now the neighbors hate us.
Cynthia: Why aren’t you sleeping?
penelope kitten: can’t sleep won’t sleep. i’m too excited for the book festival and my new book bag!

Cynthia: The book festival isn’t until April 20th.
Marcy: Oh my gato, she’s going to beatbox for the next two weeks.
penelope kitten (beatboxing): books and cats and books and cats …
The downstairs neighbors pound on the ceiling.

Love the bookbag. You are such a chubby little cutie, Penelope.
I also love the Marcy bookbag and pin. You, Marcy, are sophisticated and beautiful and also a little scary.
Hope the book festival is a huge success!
Thank you! We are doing an anti-rain dance all month.
xo,
Cynthia
