The Chucapabra Ate the Candelabra (illustrated by Ana Aranda, edited by Nancy Paulsen) released on 3/7/17. Some friends who pre-ordered and got it that day sent me photographic evidence.
Some showed the book on a marble countertop (names are the adults who sent me the photos, not the kids):
Karl, NY; know from my first job after college
Tracy, CT; know from my hometown
Christian, VA; one of my best friends since 4th grade
One was the book on a surface that cannot easily be determined:
Lauren, IL; know from college
Some included the recipients:
Mimi, UT; know from
Footloose, then because I
interviewed her
Aryeh, CT; know from camp
Colette, MD; know from my street
The book is for anyone who likes to laugh:
Amanda, WA; know because I
interviewed her
Sabine, DC; know via my wife
I recommend experiencing it inter-generationally:
Lindsey, TN; know because she's a librarian!
Or even inter-species:
Betsy, FL; know because I
interviewed her, too
