My next book, There’s a Cat in Our Class!, is almost here! On August 15th, Miss Biscuit’s all-dog class gets a new

student who is NOT a dog. Will fur fly? Or will the students learn to accept — and learn from — their differences? I’m thrilled to have a book that introduces the topic of diversity to young children, and excited that the illustrator, Bryan Langdo, based some of the characters on real-life pets — including Miss Biscuit (my Sheltie, Nemo) and Holly (my collie, Sadie).

To see the rest of the pets that appear in the book, as well as in other books from Magination Press, read Editor Sara Fell’s fun post on the Magination Press blog.

Check back tomorrow for a sneak preview of There’s a Cat in Our Class! — and to find out how to get your paws on a free signed copy.
