A friend of mine just pointed me to this nice link. If you click on the Sarah Jessica Parker video under the LITERACY CHAMPIONS headline you can see a copy of Grumpy Bird prominently displayed behind Ms. Parker. Nice!!!!!!

Indulging my current interest in machines. I was accused by a grade two student a few months ago for the decided lack of trucks and vehicles in my books. I admit to having an aversion to drawing machines. So perhaps I can learn to overcome this by practicing a bit. Here’s a Sherman tank. I recently watched Kelly’s Heroes (an old Clint Eastwood movie) that I had remembered enjoying when I was much younger. It held up pretty well. Donald Sutherland plays Oddball, a Sherman commander. He’s almost the best part of the movie. World War 2’s only hippie. He enjoys riding in a Sherman. So this was inspired by Oddball and his Sherman. And I kind of like the idea of a cute tank.

I thought I’d share this lovely review of ME HUNGRY! courtesy of B is for Books. She makes mention of the book being vegetarian friendly. It’s funny, I’d never really thought of that before. But I suppose it is. Thanks for liking my book so much Thao!

My friends Ryan and Jenn met at the book launch for Grumpy Bird a couple of years ago. I still think it’s one of the best things about the launch. Check out Ryan’s little story about how he and Jenn met. It’s good!
