He’s been the governor of Arkansas, a popular presidential candidate and even a Fox News pundit. Who knew Mike Huckabee would add writing a children’s book to his resume? Warwicks’s Books, located at 7812 Girard Ave., hosted both Huckabee and eight-time Olympic speed skating medalist Apolo Ohno on Saturday, Nov. 27, who both signed new books for droves of fans. Huckabee, whose other books include “Do the Right Thing” and “Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork,” which detailed his dramatic weight loss, started off the event at 11 a.m. and attracted at least 200 guests, organizers said. He signed his new book, “Can’t Wait Till Christmas,” a hardcover picture book for ages 4 through 8, as well as reissues of his bestselling “A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories That Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit.” Immediately following Huckabee’s appearance, Warwick’s organizers readied the bookstore for another long line of fans eager to get their copy of “No Regrets: Be Greater Than Yesterday” signed by Ohno, the most decorated American Winter Olympic athlete of all time. Ohno has been the poster child of short-track speed skating in the United States since becoming the youngest U.S. national champion in 1997, and then winning his first overall World Championship title in 2008. Katie Dillon, who runs the “La Jolla Mom” blog, wrote on her website that she went to get a book signed by Ohno at Warwick’s because her mom is a huge fan. When she welcomed him to La Jolla, he replied “Oh, La Jolla is one of my favorite places to visit!” “There you have it,” she wrote in bold text on her blog. “Apolo Ohno loves La Jolla.”
