Big Big Construction Site 🚧 🧱🚧

I came back with a New York Time Bestseller.
Describing a day of construction tools. The duties of almost all construction tools are explained in this beautiful story. It is discussed that fairs were held to finish the building, which is on the plan, which starts with sunrise and until sunset.
Looking at his drawings it feels like he is watching a full animated movie.
If you have a child interested in construction machinery, I recommend giving them a place in your library.

Big Thanks

I hope your day is full of friends, family, and, of course, delicious food! I’m so thankful for the support you’ve always shown for my books. The entire construction crew and I would be nowhere without you.

More Great Times from My Tour

As the tour for Garbage Crew to the Rescue! winds down, I wanted to share a few more pictures from my adventures on the road. Sharing my stories and celebrating the wonder of books with kids never loses its joy for me, and I can’t wait to get back out again soon (after a little rest, of course!) ❤

Such Fun Touring!

It's been a delight to spend most of the last two weeks visiting schools, libraries, and bookstores on tour for Garbage Crew to the Rescue! It's no secret that the VERY best part of my job is meeting your amazing kids and helping them build a lifelong love of reading. Thank you to the venues who graciously pulled out all of the stops for me and to every single one of those sweet and curious little readers I met along the way--and I hope to see you all again soon!

Celebrating Independent Book Stores!

I'm thrilled to share that the garbage crew debuted at the #2 spot on the @americanbooksellers Indie Bestsellers List this week! I've been extra busy visiting schools and libraries this month, but I always try to stop by the local indie bookstores in the cities and towns I travel to on tour! These stores share so much with their communities, and the support they've given me and the garbage crew always means so much.

Make a Book Mock-Up!

Have you ever wondered how a book mockup is made? Or what a book mockup is for?

Before finished book copies are available from the printer, publishers will often create a dummy version of a book for photographs to get readers and bookstores excited about what’s to come. This fascinating video from the brilliant team at @chroniclebooks and @chroniclekidsbooks gives you an inside glimpse into how the mockups for Garbage Crew To The Rescue! were created.

And don’t worry, finished books will be landing in stores everywhere on September 24th, so we’ll be able to let this super special mockup take a well-deserved rest.😀

Now in Paperback!!

Our favorite helicopter heroes and the stars of a rip-roaring rescue are flying into bookstores in a brand new paperback edition for the very first time! They’re braver than brave, tougher than tough, and nothing will stop this firefighting crew from completing their mission and letting young reader’s imaginations soar!

The Garbage Crew Book Tour!

The Garbage Crew and I will be rolling into schools this fall and stopping by some of our favorite bookstores to sign books along the way. These won't be public signing events, but the stores will have signed copies available to purchase. I can't wait for you all to share the book with the little readers in your lives, and I hope you'll share their reactions with me, too!
