One Potato...Ten!

Ten writers for children. All with something to say.

A Little Cake?

On Friday, we had the publication party for HOOP GENIUS: HOW A DESPERATE TEACHER AND A ROWDY CLASS INVENTED BASKETBALL. Pictured above at the Red Balloon Bookshop in Saint Paul are my brilliant editor Andrew Karre and his son Edmund. Check out those rosy cheeks on Edmund. We had another snowy night, but that did not deter folks, and I was particularly pleased to have David representing the Spuds. I wish you all could have been with us for some cake and wine.

I'm raising a glass of wine to you and your new book, John! Congratulations on such an exciting launch, and how nice that your editor and his young son could join you.

You had a wonderful turnout that night, John. You have so many friends from so many different venues. Glad I could be part of the festivities.

I saw the PW picture, too. Great publicity! Glad another Spud could be part of the event at your supportive Red Balloon bookshop.

Love the title of this book; who wouldn't want to read it? Here's wishing you and your book many slam dunks!
