You may not know the books of Lauren Myracle, but your kids do. The young-adult author is inside their brilliantly precocious little heads, particularly those of young ladies. In fact, the narratives of three of Myracle's most popular books, "ttyl," "ttfn" and "l8r, g8r," are related as a series of text messages — a wildly popular medium for teen expression, I'm told. Take your kids to meet the author at All for Kids Books and Music or Third Place Books in Bothell or to Secret Garden Bookshop tomorrow. They'll scream a delighted "OMG!" and you'll continue to have no idea what they're talking about.

The 100-percent cotton towels feature Price's original linocut block prints of deer, owls, kingfishers, chickadees, bunnies, swallows, roosters, quails and other animals, with a few prints of cupcakes and hearts thrown in for good measure. Images come in colors of forest green, brick, orange, brown, and black printed on white.
