Southern Breeze's Springmingle '06 included an Author's Day at Gulf Shores Elementary School: Hurricane's Ivan and Katrina had recently blown through Orange Beach, AL damaging homes, schools, and lives. The children who'd survived nature at it's worst were treated to a day of fun, stories, crafts and magic!  Click here to see presentations made by Book Bounders.
