Happy launch to @kimnormanauthor's THE BEARS SHARED. It's just a perfect readaloud & I predict will be in many a preschool teacher's hands, especially come spring.

Thank you, MacKids!!! I'm so proud of this book. David knocked those adorable illustrations out of the park!



Our apt building doesn't get too many trick-or-treaters but I am nonetheless well prepared. Don't worry, they get candy too.

I was signing copies of STRONG at the Village Bookstore and look who came in! @BillClinton said Rob was inspiring and stories like STRONG could help change the world. I agree. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me, Mr. Clinton. It was an honor to meet you.
