> On Sunday, April 3rd, I'll be hosting a celebration of Beverly Cleary's work at Symphony Space in New York City. It's in honor of Ms. Cleary's 100th birthday and will benefit Team First Book New York City.
> 
> I'll be bringing along my childhood copy of THE MOUSE AND THE MOTORCYCLE, it has never left my bookshelf. And further proof of the power of giving a book to a child-this book was given to me by my old elementary school's PTA.
> 
> Jeff Kinney, R.J Palacio and Tony DiTerlizzi will be on hand to offer appreciations, and celebrated actors will read from Ms. Cleary's books.

> Comics Squad: Lunch! is on bookshelves!
> 
> In case you missed it, the latest entry in the Comics Squad anthologies hit bookshelves in January. I have a lot of fun putting these books together with my pals Jenni Holm and Matthew Holm (SQUISH, BABYMOUSE), and we are super proud of this volume. We lined up another batch of incredibly talented graphic novelists. Just look at the names on that cover! And yes, it is a childhood dream come true to see Snoopy appear alongside one of my characters! We hope that these books serve as a rabbit hole of reading for your young ones.
