And now for what Dashka had to say to us! When you order, please state if you’d like a signed book plate, which at this moment, we have been told is possible. Until then, Dashka was kind enough to take time to answer our many questions that we might have asked her in person! We hope you find her responses as fascinating as we do, and we also hope that you will order A BOOK FOR ESCARGOT and let us ship it to you. Our school visits will be happening virtually, and we’re crossing our fingers that we can bring Dashka to the store one way or another!

It was love at first sight for this magnifique book.ESCARGOT, the story of a fabulous French snail, is one of our favorite picture books here at Brazos.
The illustrations in soft-pink hues immerse you in shimmering snail magic. Blending sweetness with substance, Escargot’s third picture book is a surefire hit for Valentine’s Day–themed story times." - School Library Journal Escargot models kindness, demonstrates how to cope with daunting circumstances, and even introduces healthy relationship standards in a way that feels just right for a young audience: 'Your snailentine should be somebody who makes you feel magnifique'.

Though love and snails rarely go together, it’s easy to be won over by this mighty mollusk." - Kirkus Reviews Sweet art means that when Escargot winsomely tells readers, 'You can kiss me if you like,' it’ll be hard for them to pass up the chance.
