BIG THINGS in the works …

Friends, The Scop is about to get a LOT more busy in 2018! In the meantime, here’s a video of me talking about an upcoming event I’m doing at the Pittsburgh Humanities Festival on March 4. If you’ve ever wanted to see my school visit presentation — here’s your chance. Bonus: I do a fancy yoyo trick at the end!

“A story helps folks face the world, even when it frightens 'em. And a lie does the opposite. It helps you hide.”
Jonathan auxier , The Night Gardener

“Now, there is a wonderful thing in this world called "foresight". It is a gift treasured above all others because it allows one to know what the future holds. Most people with foresight end up wielding immense power in life, often becoming great rulers or librarians.”
Jonathan Auxier, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes

“Hester shook her head. 'Don't confuse what you do with who you are, dearie. Besides, there's no shame in humble work. Why, Aesop himself, the king of storytellers, was a slave his whole life. Never drew a free breath, yet he shaped the world with just three small words: there once was. And where are his great masters now, hmm? Rotting in tombs, if they're lucky. But Aesop - he still lives to this day, dancin' on the tip of every tongue what's ever told a tale.' She winked at Molly. 'Think on that, next time you're scrubbing floors.”
Jonathan Auxier, The Night Gardener
