A few months ago, it was reported that Oklahoma author and illustrator Hall Duncan was working on a children’s book that takes place on Route 66.
According to The Oklahoman, that book is finished:
A new book by local children’s author Hall Duncan, titled “Emma Doesn’t Want to Race Today,” will be on shelves this month. The story follows a racing pigeon and her journey along Oklahoma’s Route 66. Duncan wants children to become more involved in the attractions along the famous highway, including The Old Round Barn at Arcadia, the barges at the Port of Catoosa and the huge Braum’s milk bottle in Oklahoma City. The book costs $19.95 and will be available in Oklahoma City at Full Circle Bookstore and the Oklahoma History Center, and in Edmond at Best of Books.
Duncan’s Web site is here, but it appears he hasn’t yet updated it regarding his new book.
