Four signed copies of Book or Bell? (Bloomsbury, 2017) are up for grabs in this month’s giveaway!

This picture book, which I wrote and Ashley Spires (The Most Magnificent Thing) illustrated, begins like this:

One Tuesday morning, Henry found the most awesome book about a bike.
The first page had him hooked.
The second page had him captivated.
The third page . . .
BBBBRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!
. . . would have to wait.

But when Henry decides that he’d rather ignore the bell and just keep reading, three highly qualified experts on education — Mayor Wise, Governor Bright, and Senator Brilliant — swoop in to solve a problem that couldn’t possibly be handled by Henry’s classroom teacher.

(No, it’s fiction — why do you ask?)

Subscribers to my monthly Bartography Express newsletter (folks can sign up here) are eligible for one of those personalized copies.

If you’d like one of those Book or Bell? winners to be you, by the end of September either say so in the comments below or email me directly, and you’ll be in the running. (U.S. mailing addresses only.)

Good luck!
