Enjoy this incredibly fun LIVE podcast from the 80th annual National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards. I was thrilled to be on a panel with creators Dee Fish and Jamar Nicholas. Learned so much, too. (Fun fact: I had about an hour of sleep in me when this was recorded. Not bad for a loopy cartoonist.)
Enjoy this little collage of my month-long whirlwind book tour in May, 2025! (Yes, I took many, many, MANY more photos — but we’d be here all day.)
From left to right: Kayla Miller and me, at a fun joint author event in Louisville; at a school in Denver; school event in Petaluma, CA; signing 200 books (!) in Denver; me partnering with some bigtime (fabulous) Australian authors in Sydney; with THE Jeff Kinney (!); presenting at Town Hall in Sydney (!!); signing at Booktopia, Austrailia’s largest online book retailer; with one of Booktopia’s many warehouse robots (named after book characters…this one is “Daisy Jones”); touring around Sydney Harbour and the iconic Opera House; at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which — yes — I indeed climbed (not for the faint of heart or mind). [Not shown: me melting in Tempe, AZ — but still great events there; also, my tour around Melbourne, a stunning city as well.]
Okay, one more. This trip wouldn’t be complete without a picture of the world’s cutest animal (besides Rosie). Can we say, AWWWWUH?
Wandering Wallaby (possible title of my next book)

It’s almost spring, which means some pretty big, fun book festivals — and who does big and fun better than Texas librarians? I’ll be at the North Texas Teen Book Festival Saturday, March 1 and the Texas Library Association conference April 1-2. I’ll be on a bunch of really great panels and doing some signings. Hope to see all you Dallas-area readers and librarians (who are inherently readers) in Texas!
Always love chatting with Zibby Owens on her prolific podcast, and this time I had the pleasure of joining funny and talented Alan Silberberg (double the fun). We discussed THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, the awesome recent middle grade Hanukkah anthology we were honored to be a part of.
You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts (as well as on Spotify and Acast!) here.
