My third children's book (January, 2017) is ONE PROUD PENNY, another Neal Porter project with hilarious illustrations once again from Serge Bloch.

From Publishers Weekly: "Though this story from the duo behind My Snake Blake includes factual information about where pennies are made (Philadelphia, mostly) and what they’re made from (zinc, mostly), this is also a story about an object that people don’t pay much attention to.... It’s the story of an unlikely hero, happy with its somewhat lowly lot and enjoying adventure wherever it’s found. Siegel does a sterling job of conjuring up an emotional life for this ubiquitous coin."

I started writing children’s books a few years ago with the amazing Neal Porter at Roaring Brook Press (Macmillan). GRANDMA’S SMILE came out in 2010, got excellent reviews and enjoyed a stint on the Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com’s children’s best-seller charts. MY SNAKE BLAKE arrived in 2012 and according to a starred review in Kirkus, “just might be the most spectacular pet of all time. Clever, laugh-out-loud fun.”

In The New York Times, the great Paul Zelinsky gave MY SNAKE BLAKE a terrific review. And The Wall Street Journal had this to say about MY SNAKE BLAKE:

“Blake turns out to be a dream pet; in other words, he does everything that a small boy might dream a pet could do. The snake is able to turn himself into cursive writing–that’s how we know his name–as well as play baseball, scare bullies, eat yucky vegetables that the boy drops (on purpose) under the dinner table and answer tough homework questions, such as: “Which British poet wrote Songs of Innocence and Experience?” Serge Bloch’s marvelously economical drawings sustain a feeling of high good humor throughout this appropriately long-and-narrow picture book for 3- to 8-year-olds.”

MY SNAKE BLAKE was nominated for recognition at ALA and the Bologna Book Fair. ...more

Quotes by Randy Siegel (?)

“For the past six years, I’ve become a student on longing. I’ve read hundreds of books, articles, and studies on relationships, attended workshops, and sought the advice of spiritual counselors and trusted friends. And this is what I’ve learned: all of us long to be loved; we are searching for that perfect love—the perfect union that we read about in romantic novels or see on the silver screen. What we fail to realize is that we are human and because we are human, we are imperfect. We seek the impossible: perfect love from imperfect people. We fail to see that our longing for unconditional, perfect, or divine love can only be satiated by reunion and communion with the divine.”

“Divine love possesses the power to transform us, and in the process transform the world. By living as Jesus lived, guided by divine love, we enter into Christ Consciousness and interact with the world in new ways—ways that create unity, harmony and peace, and heal our planet.”

“Regardless of how these momentary glimpses of oneness manifest, they change us—if only in the moment. We become our best, true, and divine self and act accordingly. We say a silent prayer for the homeless man on the street, help the older woman place her heavy suitcase in the plane’s overhead compartment, and leave a generous tip for the young college person who just waited on us. Each of these small acts matter, for each helps to make the world a better place.”
