Thank you for those who made it to the book launch. I was so honored by those who made it that night and those who wanted to come but couldn’t make it. Thank you so much for your support!

Media Recap

We were on the radio!
Darren Cools (the illustrator for the books) and I were interviewed by April Baer on Stateside, Michigan Public/NPR. If you missed it, it’s not too late to listen, here’s the link. Our interview starts at around the 22 minute mark.
I also spoke to Ann Arbor Public Schools and the Ann Arbor Public Schools, Library Service Department about librarianship, teaching, writing and how I’ve wanted to be an author since elementary school.  SCBWI also interviewed Darren and I for our “book birthday”, a feature posted on the day the books released. They asked about our inspiration and creative process. If you’re interested, you can read that interview here.
