A Goodreads user asked Kathryn Hast:

Hello Kathryn! You are my first official friend on Goodreads! I took a few minutes and checked out your website. Your two books look awesome! It looks like perhaps they address the topic of diversity a bit. My first book is being published and will be out in May. It is the first in a series called, Celebrate Diversity! Are you books in stores yet?

Kathryn Hast Hi Tammy!

Yes, copies are out and available, and we just issued a giveaway for fifteen signed editions here on Goodreads. Throw your hat in!

As for your Celebrate Diversity! book, I think that's great. Yes, Otis Grows certainly shines a light on how cultures can sometimes clash. It's couched in a bit of a bizarre premise (that an onion could be the son of a chicken and a flower) but my hope is that parents and kids can get past the "genetics" and find some things to talk about. A recent interview I did with The Corner on Character addresses that:

Glad to be your first GR friend. Congratulations on your first publication. Looking forward to your May release!

Best,
Kathryn
