Something great is happening!

Ok,
I’ve been wanting to say this for a while now,
and now I finally can!

Watch the video to find out more!
Spoiler alert, this video contains:

  • a cool shirt
  • singing
  • bloopers
  • and my handsome BF!


Yes!
It’s true!
I got a book deal!

Here’s the announcement from Publisher’s Weekly:

Kathy Ellen Davis’s TA DA!, in which a child discovers playtime is more fun when she lets her friend join in, celebrating the collaborative storytelling that all children do, to Ariel Richardson at Chronicle Children’s, for publication in Fall 2016, by Lara Perkins at Andrea Brown Literary Agency (World)

YEAH I’m excited, if you couldn’t tell from the video.
I LOVE the great work Chronicle does with books!
I’m so happy to be working with them!

Here’s two pics that I showed in the video, with a bonus third one:

The signature on the contract!

Yup, so that’s all.
Pretty good Monday I’d say 🙂

      I sort of tear up when I think about the day I’ll have my event at Bookshop Santa Cruz,
      and everyone from capoeira will come 🙂

    1. Thanks, Priscilla!
      I love all the YAYs, and I’m so happy you can’t wait.
      Confession: I can’t either!

  1. Way fun video! I’m STILL so EXCITED for ya! Ta Da is especially AWESOME and I can’t wait to BUY it!!!! BTW, I love that you sung your announcement to the Reading Rainbow song, way cool and clever. Kudos and congrats.

      I’ll take the nickname showgirl 🙂

    1. Thanks, Eric!
      I’m glad the family liked my singing 🙂
      My dad said, “Thank goodness you’re a writer, because your singing needs some work.”
      I’m fully confident that he was joking though.

    1. Thanks, Julie! Congrats on being a cybils judge; that sounds like it will be fun.
      And yes, bloopers are ALWAYS a must!
