Pretty thrilled that this young man chose to write his first EVER book report about Go Go Gorillas.

Thanks, Jacob!

Had a fantastic morning with a HUGE story time group at Barnes & Noble in Clackamas, OR. Thanks to all the dancers, young and old, who braved the rain to party with us!

Had a great time reading to the kindergarten and first grade at Meriwether Lewis Elementary in Portland, OR!

And Skyping in to Bennett Elementary in Cleveland, OH.

Proud to see Go Go Gorillas in the pages of the University of Dayton Magazine.

Litreactor.com asked me to write about three things I learned about children’s books while writing Go Go Gorillas.

Go Go Gorillas was finally released today! Thanks to my wonderful team at HarperCollins Children’s Books for making it happen.

Here’s me and a stack of them at Powell’s Books!
