A Not Very Scary Birthday!

I have long awaited this day, the release of Not Very Scary, illustrated by the incredibly creative Greg Pizzoli (FSG, BYR)!

From the flap copy: “Melly is a brave little monster who is not afraid of anything. She loves surprises, and when her fun-loving cousin invites her over for a big surprise, Melly excitedly sets out for a visit. On her way, she notices skittish skeletons, a coal-black cat, and even ghoulish goblins following her. But Melly is not scared, no she’s not! Well, maybe just a teensy bit . . .”

Next week: a recap of my Saturday with WINNIE FINN at the Illinois State Fair!

Melly’s adventure was great fun to write and it’s even funner to read aloud. It will be released in July, 2014.
