What do Minion Peeps, THE YETI FILES: MEET THE BIGFEET, Aya Kakeda and Joyce Wan have in common?

LOOK WHAT JUST ARRIVED. Huge thanks to Teresa Kietlinski!!

So here’s the story….

Three weeks ago, I saw this photo in Teresa’s Instagram feed. I was all excited because I’m a big Minions fan and also am curious about Peeps (have never had one). I asked Teresa where she got them and during the ensuing conversation, it became clear that I probably would not be able to find any in Canada at that point. I was sad. Teresa took pity on me and offered to mail me some.

The package above arrived today and not only did it have Minion Peeps but also (!) a copy of Kevin Sherry’s THE YET FILES: MEET THE BIGFEET (Scholastic), a YOU ARE MY CUPCAKE sticker from Joyce Wan, and a lovely postcard showing illustrations by Aya Kakeda. Do check out Aya’s website; her illustrations are so gorgeous and wonderfully odd and intriguing!

I’m also a Joyce Wan fan already and am looking forward to seeing her in NYC in a couple of weeks at SCBWI-NYC! So looking forward to getting my copy of THE WHALE IN MY SWIMMING POOL, which is coming out from FSG/Macmillan this April (and is a Junior Library Guild Selection!).

And I’m excited to read THE YETI FILES: MEET THE BIGFEET by Kevin Sherry. I’ve seen mention of this series online and been very curious, but hadn’t yet gotten around to looking for a copy to browse. The illustrations look like so much fun, and I can’t wait to read this soon.

By the way, I had already eaten a Minion Peep by the time I got this far in my post. 🙂 Talk about a SUGAR RUSH, WOW. About to eat the second one, so I can’t blame him for looking worried:

THANK YOU SO MUCH, TERESA!!!!
