My quiver

Whenever I give talks at schools, students often ask: "How many skateboards do you have?" I'm a little embarrassed to say I've lost count!

Here's part of my collection from my 30-year obsession. They range from the Hobie Super Surfer (front board in second photo) the clay-wheeled wonder I received from Santa on Christmas Day, 1972, to my off-road Mountainboard (the one with the balloon tires).

What can I say. Some women collect shoes...

A Crazy Day is Born!

Today's the "birth" date of my third book, A Crazy Day At the Critter Cafe.

Big thanks to my agent, Tracey Adams, my editors, Emma Dryden and Lisa Cheng, and of course artist Lee White for his fabulous illustrations!

A CRAZY DAY AT THE CRITTER CAFE


Here is the cover! The book comes out in June with Simon & Schuster's Margaret K. McElderry books. Illustrations by Lee White.

A Crazy Day At The Critter Cafe!


I'm very excited about my third children's book, due out in June with Simon & Schuster's Margaret K. McElderry Books. It's A CRAZY DAY AT THE CRITTER CAFE, and Lee White's illustrations are so much fun!

Most fun for me, the story stars a skateboarding cow! And don't you know, I've been trying out a variety of cow costumes for the cause! :-)
