New Book...Construction Site Taking Flight...pre-order now!

Wherever I go, I’m on the lookout for the coolest big (and bigger!) machines — because, well, I LOVE them (!), every bit as much as the kids who read my books. And, because I spend so much time in airports, it’s hard to NOT see and appreciate all of of the wheeled “ground crew” that keeps the whole operation running smoothly — getting us all where we need to go. And, that’s what has inspired the latest book in the Construction Site series, “Construction Site: Taking Flight!”

While the familiar Construction Site crew works to build an airport addition, they get an up-close look at the busy airport trucks, each with special skills and jobs to do, and all hard at work. And, just like with the construction crew, “teamwork makes the dream work!”

I hope your young reader will enjoy meeting my new truck friends.

Available September 26th. If you’d like to gift a copy for the holidays, please get yours early to avoid disappointment — you can preorder now, wherever books are sold.

A special thanks to @united Airlines for featuring me in this month’s “Hemispheres,” United’s in-flight magazine. (United also happens to be my personal airline of choice.) Thanks also to @agfordart for his beautiful work on the series and to @chroniclekidsbooks for nurturing the series for well over a decade. And, mostly, thanks to all of you, the loyal fans of the series.
