This past Tuesday saw the publication of We Match! — my 25th book for young readers — which was illustrated by Sharon Glick and published by Astra Young Readers.

It’s been 16 years since I celebrated the launch of my first book, The Day-Glo Brothers, at BookPeople in my home city of Austin, Texas. So I’m thrilled to be returning to the store next month to share We Match! with this terrific community of readers and writers.

I hope you’ll join me at BookPeople on Sunday, August 10, at 2 p.m. The store asks that you RSVP, and I’m asking you to spread the word. I’m excited to tell the story behind We Match! — and to get going on my next 25 books!
