Fear the corn.
What you have here is the first official Grasshopper Jungle T shirt.
You want one.
Well, at least I can show you that. As much as this assures my candidacy for a black belt in douche-ido, I am going to say that yesterday I got my hands on the actual cover for Grasshopper Jungle, but I can't show it to you yet.
It is amazing. My book covers just keep getting better and better, and this one, minimalist and creepy, is just so freaking perfect. And like the slogan on the OFFICIAL T SHIRT, you kind of have to read the book to know what the cover is all about.
But there is corn in the book.
Unstoppable Corn.
On Monday, good things happened for my soon-to-be-released Winger. It received a starred review in Publishers Weekly. And yesterday, it was selected by the Junior Library Guild as a Summer 2013 pick, which is unbelievably huge. Thanks JLG!
Also, today is World Read Aloud Day 2013. I have 200 kids who will get some audible treats that nobody has heard yet: Winger and Grasshopper Jungle.
If you come over, I'll read to you, too.

I hope you have fun though!
(Side note) I found this page, because in my creative writing class at school, we were told to find an author, or artist whose writing voice/style speaks to us the most. The minute she said this to me, your name popped into my head. :3
Did you read aloud in school today?
And your school must totally rock for having a creative writing class.
We are reading aloud tomorrow. I am at least a day behind in this dimension.
That t-shirt is a must-have.

Of course this comes from a movie, so you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.
