Waiting at the airport for our much changed and delayed flights gave Bud the Bear time to get acquainted with Peepy Bob, a gift from librarian Janet Bass

Happy Year of the Snake! When @dansantat.bsky.social & I were visiting Castelar Elementary in LA's #Chinatown, the amazing librarian (who also suggested we eat at Eastside Italian Deli) gave us these!

Dan Santat couldn’t make the Anderson's Children’s Lit Breakfast, but he did make a Misfits chair for the raffle!

Oof! What a great morning — @andersonsbookshop Breakfast was amazing! Over 550 kid lit enthusiasts, and keynotes by @andreabeatyauthor , #katedicamillo, @boltcity, #JohnPatrickGreen, and me!!!
After, we headed to hotdogs for lunch!

After checking to make sure my airline gate was still there, saw THE MISFITS and MAIZY at the Book Soup LAX bookstore. To celebrate, had a Randy's donut!
Chicago and Anderson's Bookshop, see you soon!

My agent, Jodi Reamer, sent me a Book Tour Survival Kit!
Dan Santat and I were on on the road for 19 days total for the #MisfitsBookTour, and often checked into hotels too late to get a meal. And one time I did Door Dash and they forgot utensils so I ate noodles with my hands. Snort!
We changed time zones a lot during The Misfits Book Tour, and there were lots of early mornings, so I didn't always look like myself. One last event in Houston today with Inprint, then heading home!

OOF! Thank you for your support of THE MISFITS. It started as book about a "ballerina battalion," then morphed into an elite group of awkward crime-fighters, and now it's out in the world. Bonus: Teaming up with my pal @dansantat.bsky.social who did the amazing art!

I'm in a hotel room. In Nashville. It's after midnight and I'm working on the second Misfits book. I have made a bad decision, however, I blame Lisa Yee Swope* from Bookmarks. She gave me a party-sized bag of Jalapeno chips and I am eating them all by myself.
*Yes, another Lisa Yee

This photo is from yesterday in Minnesota. Dan Santat and I are now in Wisconsin. However, school visits are cancelled today due to weather . . . but we have other #MisfitsBookTour things in the works for this afternoon and I'll post about them later!
Oof, oof! The Misfits is the Parnassus Books Spark Book Club January Pick and . . . Parnassus is also hosting our Misfits Book Tour Nashville school visits this Friday!!!
