I know summer doesn't officially start until June 21, but here in NYC, where it's closing in on 90 degrees and everyone is in tank tops and shorts, it's pretty much a given that the season has begun. I don't need to feel the heat to know that summer's on its way. I can tell by the number of summer reading lists featuring Katie Kazoo Switcheroo George Brown Class Clown and Magic Bone books on them. I am so glad that teachers and librarians are suggesting my books for summer reading because to me summer is for fun. My hope is that the books I write are just that--fun to read! I write for kids because I want them to love reading every bit as much as I do. And I want them to laugh and smile and then read some more.
Speaking of fun, tonight my husband and I are heading over to Madison Square Garden for a night of music with the genius piano man, Billy Joel. Anyone who knows us is painfully aware that we spend a lot of time (and money) going to rock concerts. We just love the vibe at a concert--the dancing, the screaming, and the singing along with 20,000 other fans. (The music my husband composes is mostly classical, but he can still rock with the best of them. His new album comes out later this year and I will let you all know when it's available for download and purchase, I promise!) And I'll probably buy a concert t-shirt, because well...why not?
Whatever you all are doing this Memorial Day weekend, take a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all dance to our own beat, and read any book that make us smile. Censorship is anti-American! In the end, that's really what this weekend is all about.
And don't forget the sunscreen.
