Attn: Victoria kidlit fans! Mark your calendars for this May 6th @orcabook.bsky.social group launch at Munro's.
Great chance to get a copy of STILL FRIENDS signed by both me AND artist Mike Deas.
😂😂
Calling all picture book-loving Edelweiss users!
STILL FRIENDS by me, Mike Deas, and Orca Books is now up and awaiting your kind attention.
The cover of the upcoming children’s picture book, TO THE *ACTUAL* MOON AND BACK, featuring a smiling papa bunny holding his smiling kiddo bunny—who’s in turn holding her stuffed carrot—before a big full moon. (And unbeknownst to the bunnies, a UFO zips away behind them!) A wacky-but-sweet out-of-this-world parent/child space adventure that’ll have you and your kiddos laughing—and laughing again every time you hear, “I love you to the moon and back!” Text by Ame Dyckman, art by Dan & Jason (Dan Abdo & Jason Patterson), from the nice folks at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers on November 24, 2006! Pre-order from your favorite bookstore (or Suggest-For-Purchase from your favorite library), and THANK YOU! 🚀🌕&🔙!
If you & your fam/school are digging the #moon coverage, you may also ❤️:

Can’t wait to read this!
In much better (and much more trivial) news:
The best book I've ever co-created comes out next month (if there's still a world left to see it).
FINALLY! The followup to CLAYMATES is here! CLAYDATE by @eldridgestudio.bsky.social and me is:
⭐ "Just as marvelous a read-aloud for groups as for lapsit storytimes.... A sublime blend of the snarky and sweet."―Kirkus

It was such an honor to collaborate with Jeff Gottesfeld on this very special book, and I am very excited for it to be out in the world.
