Ha ha ha. For some strange age-induced, hard-drive-overload, blocked-childhood reason, it never occurred to me that the title of my latest picture book is the repeating stanza of the song I sang to my kids endlessly. YIKES!

Here's the PM announcement:
Author of TOO PURPLEY! and TOO PICKLEY! Jean Reidy's ALL THROUGH THE TOWN, with WHO IS DRIVING? illustrator Leo Timmers illustrating, giving a child's-eye-view of community with a soothing rhythmic verse, again to Michelle Nagler at Bloomsbury Children's, by Erin Murphy of Erin Murphy Literary Agency (world).I'm so excited to be working with Michelle again. And while I know you're all crazy busy - especially you NANOWRIMONITES - I'd love for you to check out the illustrator Leo Timmers at
http://www.leotimmers.com/. Oh man, his driving critters crack me up.
So happy to be celebrating this latest sale with all of you!!

Jean
