If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.
The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

"Since they didn't get him a dog, what were Alex's parents going to give him for his birthday?"
In a decade+ of doing this, I've never been stumped like this before! Thanks to Ms. Maggart's and Ms. Edwards' 4G kids at Iles Elem (Quincy, IL) for being smart readers with fun questions!

A writer knows there are two sides to everything. 😂
Still catching up on school-year visits with this belated thanks to the 5/6G students of the amazing Ms. Munson at Woodbury Elementary (CA)! They had done a ton of research into my background and writing. Guilty as charged. 👀

Say hi to the entire 4th grade at Watkins Intermediate (Pataskala, OH). This was dress-up day post-Halloween (though I suspect Ms. Pietzcker would take any excuse to show up as Luigi). Belated thanks for a great visit!

Best unboxing video ever? Sound up!
Thank you, Ms. Davis, Heideman Elementary, and @tustinusd.bsky.social for buying these books for your students! We video chatted back in the fall, and Ms. Davis said the kids are still carrying them every day. Books matter!!

7 visits in 9 years (thanks, pandemic) with Ms. Webster's students at Heritage School in Saline, MI. Good friends always reunite! They also forgive you for posting about autumn visits in spring. (Right? Please?? 😊)

Still playing catch-up on fall school visits. But suffice it to say I’ve been coasting off the energy from Ms. Combs’ assembly at Pico Canyon Elementary (Newhall, CA) since October! Go Huskies!

Action photo! Okay, not the greatest screen shot, but it was impossible to contain the energy on this Zoom with Ms. Buhler (teacher) and Ms. Stolarski (librarian) and Ss at St. Mary’s Area Middle School (PA) last fall. And yes, this post is very tardy. 😊

Q: "Did you ever have an alternate ending for the book?" Indeed I did, and Ms. Swoboda's class at Northlake TK-8 (Sacramento) got to hear about it on our chat last month. Thank you for an insightful and challenging discussion--and scroll across for some incredible fan art!

A: Days where I get to do this.
