Melvin joins the book club!

Exciting news for MELVIN! He joined the Scholastic Book Club's May '13 Honeybee list. Picking out books from the Scholastic Book Club catalog was so thrilling when I was in elementary school. I feel extremely honored to have my book available in this collection. Thank you, Scholastic!

An early Christmas gift

Today I received a really exciting package -- copies of the Scholastic Book Club edition of CHRISTMAS IS HERE! I found out a few months back that Scholastic had chosen Christmas Is Here to be part of their book club, and I was beyond excited.

One of my very favorite memories of elementary school was when the Scholastic Book Fair came, and I was allowed to pick out and buy a book all on my own. The first book I remember buying was Imogene's Antlers by David Small. To this day it is still one of my favorite books. And David Small is one of my illustration heroes :)

Thank you Scholastic for including my book in your club!!
