During March, I made a visit to my niece’s kindergarten class at Mary Lin Elementary in Atlanta, Georgia. Lillian was super excited to introduce me to her teacher and friends. The kids loved Mommy? and making pop-ups with me. Thanks for a great visit, Ms. Zubrowski’s kindergarten class!

A very special thank you to everyone in Greenville, South Carolina (and my niece Lillian signing next to me) for such a wonderful, if busy, weekend!

…my latest title Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide To Westeros & Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe. Lots of colons in that last sentence, eh? I’ve got to stop sticking those in my book titles so often!

A special thanks goes out to Sruthi Pinnamaneni who endured hours of my talking. Click here to listen or visit www.studio360.org

I want to send out a HUGE thanks to all the young readers of Port Washington, New York who welcomed me during my visits to Guggenheim Elementary, Sousa Elementary, Daly Elementary and South Salem Elementary schools.  What a way to celebrate the release of my new Star Wars pop-up!  Also, I’d like thank the incredible folks from the Dolphin Bookshop for arranging all of the events last Wednesday – the day would not have been possible with you!
