Susan Nipp, an author known for the Wee Sing music series for children, stands in the Plaza Shoppes in Coeur d'Alene Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008. She has written a childrens book, "Mudgy & Millie", about Coeur d'Alene, interweaving a hike around Tubbs Hill and downtown Coeur d'Alene, which will be marked, in real life, by giant bronze statues of the moose, seen at left, named Mudgy, who is playing hide and seek with his friend, Millie the mouse. Banners around town are promoting a Sept. 13 event where Nipp and others involved will cut a ribbon on the book's "trail". Proceeds go to the library foundation.
