They hide in the shadows. They balance like cats on overhead beams. They vault over castle walls. All to learn their enemies’ plans. And unlike samurai, if ninjas do their jobs well, no one will ever know they’re there.

Hey, Everybody,
I’m delighted to announce that today is Release Day for my celebrity biographies, DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON, LEA MICHELE, TAYLOR LAUTNER, and TAYLOR SWIFT!
Here’s what my publisher, The Child’s World, has to say about the Stars of Today series:
“The Stars of Today series introduces today’s hottest celebrities to young readers.
Each book covers a star’s early life, rise to fame, and career highlights. Interesting
quotes and anecdotes are captured in sidebars throughout each book. A glossary
and lists of additional resources help readers better understand each star. This
series is a must-read for any fan of these celebrities!”

On March 13, I had a great time chatting with fourth and fifth graders from the Park Hill School District at Park University’s River Read Festival!
We used BREAD BEFORE THE STORE and BLUE JEANS BEFORE THE STORE to discuss the writing process and elements of nonfiction, including text features to look for in nonfiction books.
The kids and their adults asked great questions and even gave me suggestions for future writing projects.
Thanks for the opportunity, Park University!
