Hi Aaron! Congrats on the upcoming (September 22) release of NERDY BIRDY.  I love how kids will relate to the social aspect of this text and the underlying theme of acceptance that runs through.  All of the THINK QUICK themes below appear in your book.  Let’s see which way you lean.  Remember, THINK QUICK!

On Making New Friends:
Similarities or unique qualities?


Similarities!
That’s everyone’s THINK QUICK answer. But the truth is, some of my very best friends have been unique from me, with a couple common interests.


On Video Gaming:
Die hard gamer or anti-gamee?


Die hard gamer.
I’m a little addicted to World of Wormcraft….I mean, World of Warcraft.


On Nerds:
Break out of the mold or blend in with the pack?

Break out of the mold.
For good or bad, I always did.


On Nerds:
Book nerd or computer geek?


Book nerd. Obviously. But can’t you be both???


On Birds:
Watcher or Shooer?


Watcher.

On Birds:
Eagle, Cardinal, or Robin?


Can’t pick. They’re all such cool birdies.


On Worms:
Bookworm or no worms?


Bookworm. Obviously.


On Problem Solving:
Stick together or stand alone?


Stand alone, with a side of stick together. Sometimes you need help, after all.


On the Odd Bird Out:
Welcome with open wings or proceed with caution?


Welcome with open wings. To a fault.

On Books:
Nerdy Birdy or Nerdy Birdy?


NERDY BIRDY!

Thanks for thinking quick with us!

He's really some kind of awesome! If you ever get a chance to see him in person, I highly recommend. Thoroughly inspirational, educational, and entertaining, too!

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
