Anna Goes Hiking Book will be featured on Minneapolis NBC-TV Affiliate KARE-11’s News on Saturdays
It is no secret that the prices for gas have exploded and families are feeling the pain. Recently, Kayak.com, the world’s largest travel search engine, surveyed its consumers about what they plan to do over the summer. More than 64% responded that in order to keep it affordable, they would be staying closer to home.
In response to the survey, “KARE-11’s News on Saturdays” will be interviewing co-author, Kakie Fitzsimmons, about the new award winning book from the Bur Bur and Friendsâ„¢ Children’s book series, Anna Goes Hiking, on Saturday, July 26th. The book is a recent recipient of the Silver 2008 Mom’s Choice Awards and the 2008 iParenting Media Awards “Best Product Winner”
“The timing couldn’t be better,” says co-author and founder of Farmer’s Hat Productions™, JoAnne Pastel, “our products are designed to educate kids and encourage families to get moving. Our hope is that Anna’s story will inspire curiosity among kids about hiking.”
