I’m so excited because tomorrow is the publication date for Pipsqueaks, Slowpokes and Stinkers:
Celebrating Animal Underdogs—a book that I’ve been working on since 2013.
That’s right, five years.
Why
did it take so gosh darn long? I’ll be sharing that story in a blog post after
Labor Day. Today is more about celebrating the fact that it’s finally out and
available to kids across North America.

If
you haven’t seen the book’s trailer, I invite you to take a look.

I
can’t thank Lesley Burnap and her 2017-2018 third grade class at Coolidge School in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts
enough for agreeing to participate in the
video. Their enthusiasm for the project left me gobsmacked. We had so much fun
together.

I was thrilled that I received early copies
of the book before the school year ended and I could give each child a signed

Like all of my books, Pipsqueaks, Slowpokes and Stinkers:
Celebrating Animal Underdogs has a science focus. It describes how animals’
unique characteristics and behaviors help them survive in their habitats.

But the book also has a subtle message about respecting
and celebrating the things that make us all different. That’s why I’m delighted
that Jilian Heise, founder of #classroombookaday,
included Pipsqueaks on her list of Back-to-School Picture Books to Build Community. I love the groovy visual she
created, don’t you?

To celebrate the publication of Pipsqueaks, Slowpokes and Stinkers: Celebrating Animal Underdogs, I’ll be signing at various venues in events around Boston. Here’s the schedule:
I hope to see you there.
