When my editor David Saylor and I set out to create WHERE'S WALRUS?, we worried about the response from librarians and educators. Would a wordless book be welcomed into the classroom?

My portrait on the cover of this week's New York Times Book Review of sci-fi writer William Gibson, the man who coined the term "cyberspace".
Today's Christmas edition of the New York Times Book Review features a bunch of my spots.
Stefanie, Chloë and I drove up to the University of Connecticut to attend the Connecticut Children's Book Fair, November 12-13. Fair organizers Terri Goldich and Suzy Staubach hosted a wonderful dinner at the Nathan Hale Inn where Mo Willems, Matt Tavares, Wendell Minor, Tommie dePaola and I expressed our gratitude by drawing all over the plates, cups and silverware. Terri and Suzy confiscated the doodled dinnerware and donated it to the Dodd Center.
I'll be speaking, along with Marla Frazee and Paul Zelinsky, at the Society of Illustrators in New York City next month.
I'll be appearing at the Target Children's Book Festival in Minneapolis on September 10, 2011 along with Peter Brown, Nancy Carlson, Bob Shea, and Olympic gold medalist (and children's book author) Kristi Yamaguchi. Yeah, you betcha!
