I'M SAD BOOK TOUR 2018: June 5-11, 2018
(Last updated May 22, 2018- Please note details are still being confirmed, so be sure you verify info with your bookstore. Also, note that some bookstores are asking attendees to pre-register.)
Thanks to Simon & Schuster Children's, I'll be visiting schools and bookstores in Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New York to talk about books and reading and I'M SAD, a new picture book written by Michael Ian Black and illustrated by yours truly. You can find a classroom guide and free bonus info at DebbieOhi.com/sad, and you can also find info about I'M SAD (and I'M BORED, the first book in the series) on the Simon & Schuster website.
I'll be posting along the way using the hashtag #ImSadBookTour on Twitter, so feel free to follow my posts starting June 4th. I'm also very excited that Michael Ian Black will be joining me on the tour beginning the evening of June 7th!
