Megan McDonald

May 3 @ 1:00

KATHERINE TILLOTSON is a very special addition to our California Bookstore Day fling. We're so lucky this treasured illustrator decided to stop by. In Shoe Dog, written by Megan McDonald, Tillotson offers up an expressive and playful scribble puppy who has a difficult time resisting the chew of a good shoe.

"...Tillotson’s canine hero is a marvelous creation, conjured up out of swiftly crayoned, coiled black lines and filled in with charcoal smudges; he looks like a tangled Slinky that’s sprouted bright eyes and pink triangle ears. Anyone who’s ever loved a goodhearted but ill-behaved dog will want to eagerly adopt this book." -- PW Reviews

Megan McDonald!

Saturday, May 3, Noon - 1:30

For Megan McDonald, being able to speak up for herself wasn't always easy. She grew up in a house full of books and sisters (she's the youngest of five). Every evening, the McDonalds gathered around the dinner table to talk and tell stories, but Megan McDonald was barely able to get a word in edgewise. "I'm told I began to stutter," she says, leading her mother to give her a copy of Harriet the Spy and a small spiral notebook, so she could begin "writing things down" ala the young reporter Harriet.

We're happy to report that Megan McDonald has been writing things down ever since. To date, she has penned over 60 books for children and young readers, including the critically acclaimed Judy Moody series. These hilarious books have won numerous awards, ranging from a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and an International Reading Association Children's Choice to the first-ever Beverly Cleary Children’s Choice Award.

We're thrilled to have Megan join us for our first ever California Bookstore Day celebrations. We'll have a Stinkin' good time!

(We've listed just her newst book, but will have all of her titles available, too. Click here to see the list.)
