I’m excited to say that Journey has been named a finalist for Bank Street College’s 2017 Cook Prize! This prize is awarded to STEM picture books for kids age eight to ten. The winner of the prize will be announced in April, but regardless, I will be at the award ceremony in New York on May 18! I can’t wait.
Come hear Journey and make a fun wolf craft on Saturday, 1/14/16, at the Sunset branch of the San Francisco Public Library! Reading begins at 1:30 pm. All ages welcome.
I am excited to be reading this Saturday at 11 am at my friend Monica’s store, Monkei Miles. Here’s the awesome poster she made up. (And look how cute her store is!)

The San Francisco Zoo has a new wolf exhibit! And I’ll be doing readings of Journey right outside it, on September 24 and 25!
In September, the zoo celebrates National Literacy Month with a different theme each week. I’ll be there to help them raise awareness about wolves. Stop by Wolf Canyon at 11 and 1:30 for a reading of Journey. Read about Prince, David Bowie, and Jerry Garcia here. More info about the reading here.
I’ll be reading Journey: Based on the True Story of OR7, the Most Famous Wolf in the West at Green Apple Books on the Park, in San Francisco, on Tuesday, October 11 at 6:30 pm. After the reading, I’ll do a fun slideshow about wolves, interesting for both kids and adults. If I can get things in gear, I’ll also have WOLF COOKIES to pass out! So if you’re local, please come by and celebrate with me.
