Hello!
I just wanted to share some news about an upcoming event at which both Philip and Erin will be speaking. The 7th Annual Sarah Marwil Lamstein Children’s Literature Lecture will take place on Thursday, April 11 at 5:10 p.m. in the Helmut Stern Auditorium at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (525 S. State Street, Ann Arbor, MI). The event is presented by the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan and you can read more about the series here. I think it should be a nice little Thursday night so feel free to come out if you can!

Yours Truly,

Hello out there,

I was in the mood to steal Erin’s blog again today so I could tell you about the new trailer Philip just made for her next book, If You Want to See a Whale. Would you like to join me in watching the trailer?

If you liked the song Phil wrote for the trailer, you can download it for free here.

There are 56 days left until May 7 when If You Want to See a Whale is released. This gives us some time to practice waiting…which I hear is a skill you will need when you want to see a whale.

Yours Truly,

Signing bookplates for the new book that comes out in may. These will go to indie stores, of they are kind enough to carry the book. Pictures of the book coming soon! I just got the final copy yesterday!

Getting some work done at one of our favorite places.

I am not sure what their names are.
