Goodreads, Simon & Schuster, Simon Spotlight, THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLEDSchool Library Journal previews THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLED!
Hey, everyone,
A friend just informed me that School Library Journal has previewed THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLED as a Simon & Schuster summer reading choice! Woot!
It’s all about the history of cookies, from their beginning over 10,000 years ago in Persia as dry, tasteless crackers through today’s delicious variations of yummy. I hope you’ll check it out this summer and let me know what you think. The book releases on July 5, perfect timing for the young readers who attend your Fourth of July celebrations.
And if you’re in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 16, I’ll be doing a book launch from 1-3pm at the Barnes & Noble at Zona Rosa. Please stop by and say hello.
Delicious summer reading to you!

SCBWI, Summer Reading List, THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLEDCover Reveal! THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLED
Wahoooo!
I’ve got something delicious to show you. The cover of my new book from Simon & Schuster, THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLED!
It’s all about the history of cookies. Scrumptious! It will be available July 5.
Here’s a description from my publisher’s website:
C is for cookie in this fact-tastic nonfiction Level 3 Ready-to-Read that explores the history of cookies, part of a series about the history of fun stuff!
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth I used to have gingerbread cookies molded into the shapes of her favorite advisors? Or that Girl Scouts used to bake the cookies they sold themselves? Or that if you stacked all the Oreos ever made, they would reach to the moon and back five times? Become a History of Fun Stuff Expert on the super-sweet history of cookies and amaze your friends with all you’ve learned in this fun, fact-filled Level 3 Ready-to-Read!
A special section at the back of the book includes Common Core–vetted extras on subjects like science, social studies, and math, and there’s even a fun quiz so readers can test themselves to see what they’ve learned! Learning history has never been so much fun!
