Deborah read her book in tandem with the mayor of Denver and a state representative from Colorado, who read the Spanish translation of the title while Deborah read the original version. Deborah was happy to be accompanied by two live local llamas for her public presentations at Denver's historic Convention Hall and its largest public library, both of whom seemed to love all of the festivities as much as she did!
