Pelican Publishing asked me to sign my books at their booth at this year’s Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Below are some fun photos of my day.
I did not expect to encounter an inappropriately named food truck…
What this truck lacked in rhyme, it made up for in better nutrition.
The USC Trojan marching band was in attendance.
The charming picture book author/illustrator Eliza Wheeler
She was on a panel with Caldecott-winning author/illustrator Dan Santat, among others.
I was in the audience with the Dan Santat cheering section. His and Leah’s boys aren’t cute at all…
Jonathan and Drew Scott – The Property Brothers from HGTV.
With children’s musician, Emily Arrow. I carried her ukulele as she helpfully introduced me to…
Caldecott Honor-winning author/illustrator, Lauren Castillo. Not pictured here, I also got to briefly say hi to the talented Jon Klassen and Jenni Holm earlier in the day.
Signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Books booth with fellow San Diegan, middle-grade author Margaret Dilloway.
Authors should walk softly, but carry a big pencil…
Now, here is a food truck with nutrition for the mind!
