Dear Friends,

Today was a historic day for Lily & Eddy (my publisher) and my series, "The Tale of Didgit Cobbleheart." Around 300 people, children and adults, individuals and corporations as well as media representatives gathered in The Maestro, Level 4, Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta, to celebrate this memorable moment with our family.

In my previous article about "Character Coloring" I had mentioned that every kid could choose one Styrofoam standee to color: my standee or Fuzzy's.
Once the standee was colored, you could bring your standee to the soccer robot arena where your character would be mounted on one of the robot!

This was another example of combining old and new things to create a unique creativity. The robots were definitely a modern technology while the arena was designed like a stone-age soccer fields!

It was just amazing to see boys and girls took turn to start playing soccer by remote controlling the robots using special hand-and-fingers remote controls. They had real fun, and I bet you would, too!
