30 Apr A Children’s Place Author Event
In case you didn’t know, I’m a giant. Don’t believe me? Check out how tall I am compared to these other very talented writers and artists! (Y’know, the shrimps?)

Oregon Reads Aloud proudly features “the state’s rich trove of talent within the children’s literary community.”
