Thanks to Dana Jacobsen’s awesome first graders at Lewis Elementary in Portland, OR for welcoming me and going bananas!!!

It was a real thrill to visit my old grade school in Hamler, Ohio. Thanks to everyone for making such a great day happen.

I will be in Los Angeles this weekend at Once Upon a Time Books. Bring your dancing shoes!

If your child brought home a Scholastic book club flyer from school, you might have noticed a very familiar little gorilla!

Thanks, as always, to the amazing Green Bean books!

It was a great crowd of eager ape-lovers. We even tested out a new craft I invented where kids get to create their own banana-themed food, just like the book.

My contribution was a little something I call “banana cake”… and “banana spaghetti and meatballs.”

Thanks to all the families who came out to Powell’s City of Books last week to celebrate the launch of Gorillas Go Bananas. It was epic!

Thanks to the Sunday Oregonian in Portland, OR for writing about Gorillas Go Bananas, and a few other awesome local authors.
