Today’s the day: Chick and Brain’s new book is out.
BUT I’m sorry to say that I’ll no longer be traveling to promote EGG OR EYEBALL and SMELL MY FOOT in Maryland, DC, and Charlottesville, VA.
I’m really sad about this. It’s a combination of event cancellations due to coronavirus… and the fact that my dog destroyed my left hearing aid over the weekend. I won’t be able to get the situation resolved until right before I was supposed to go on the road. For those of you who wear hearing aids, you know what a bear it is to adjust to brand new aids. It makes your brain (and even Brain, when he thinks about it) sooooo tired. I’m really going to miss meeting so many cool folks like you.
I know a lot of you aren’t venturing far from home, but if you get a chance to show the Takoma Park Library and Politics and Prose some love, please do. (That’s where I was supposed to go.)
Also, if you were planning to attend the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville, VA, it is officially canceled. You can read their statement here. Ugh. PLEASE stay well and healthy. I’m thinking about ALL of you and hoping for the best.
Hi Cece. This is Ken Jones, your #1 fan! I’m glad you’re staying safe! I planned to go to Maryland to see you next week but I will see you again some other time. I have a grandson now and we have read most of your books to him already. Yay!!! My family all loves you and Tom!! Take care and be safe!
I am a children's book author and illustrator, and, quite possibly, a hermit. I eat nuts, avoid nits and gnats, and make lovely nets out of knots.
My books include Newbery Honor and Eisner Award-winning, EL DEAFO, I YAM A DONKEY, CHUCK AND WOODCHUCK, the INSPECTOR FLYTRAP series (with Tom Angleberger), RABBIT & ROBOT: THE SLEEPOVER, RABBIT & ROBOT AND RIBBIT, CRANKEE DOODLE (with Tom Angleberger), BUG PATROL (with Denise Mortensen), ITTY BITTY, BEE-WIGGED, two chunky board books, and the SOCK MONKEY series.
School Visits and Skype visits
I am not scheduling any school visits or Skype visits at the moment.
Thanks so much for your support and understanding!
