Wanna get CRANKY?

Are you a classroom teacher, librarian, or bookseller? Would you like to get CRANKY? I’d love to come visit for a read-aloud, conversation, and/or draw-along (no promises on that). Email me and my agent for inquiries.


Virtual Bookclub With Phuc!

Did your bookclub read SIGH, GONE? Would you like me to Zoom your bookclub to talk about it AND raise money for a social justice organization? We can make that happen!

Read more about it here.
