Gasa-Gasa Girl Fan Club is for those who love Mas Arai and want to be kept abreast with new books, short stories, and films that Naomi is working on.

Members of the Gasa-Gasa Girl Fan Club will receive:

• an autographed Gasa-Gasa Girl bookmark
• a Gasa-Gasa Girl button
• regular e-updates, including details of my upcoming middle-grade book, 1001 Cranes
• opportunities to meet Naomi and other fans on the road
• chances to win occasional freebies

All who are interested should e-mail me their name, snail-mail and e-mail addresses to bachi (at) naomihirahara.com. Those who just want e-updates can join the Gasa-Gasa Girl Fan Club on Facebook.

You can also purchase Gasa-Gasa Girl gear with a design by my friend Amy Ota. Do you have a gasa-gasa girl in your life? Then buy that apron, messenger bag, maternity top, T-shirt, or onesie. She'll love it. Just go to http://www.cafepress.com/gasagasagirl
