October 24, 2009 - FIRST BOOK PREVIEW
The first book preview of Friedrich and the First Kindergarten was held in Ravena, New York on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the VFW post. We had an attendance of 40 visitors and took pre-orders for the First Limited Edition. Only 250 copies of this edition are being printed.
Froebel-Parker joins other local authors at the 2011 Maple Festival. He grew up in Marathon, NY hearing stories from his grandfather about their famous ancestor who invented kindergarten. Those stories inspired him to write his first book, a tribute to Friedrich Froebel and written for the children Froebel loved.
