Readers, builders, and a teacher who goes all-out to get the shot! Loved waking up early last month to chat with Mr. Russell's Class at St. Stephen's De La Salle BNS in Waterford, Ireland. Up the Deise, lads!

I'm on bluesky now, where the Nazis aren't. Find me at tomrogerswriter. :-)

Countdown to Christmas! Check out our interview with the fantastic Lights Camera Jackson about Mickey and the Very Many Christmases, premiering in 5 days!

Minnie Mouse’s balloon debut at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! 😍🎈 #Disney #DisneyParks #MinnieMouse #Minnie #DisneyAtMacys #Thanksgiving #MacysParade

* 11 schools * 36 classrooms * 1 ASL interpreter (a first for me!) * 8 consecutive years of visits! Thank you librarian Kelly Born and Denton ISD for hosting these joyful chats back in October, possibly our best yet! (Don't tell the other years.)

Did a fun and almost-not-embarrassing interview with Rachel Ruderman for AWN about our new Mickey Xmas special! awn.com/animationworld…

Loved being back with my friends at Black Lake Elementary (Washington). (Six weeks ago -- I'm so behind!) Lots of questions about the writing process, so I know you're looking at some budding novelists here! Tumwater Schools

Mickey & the Very Many Christmases has been consistently Top 10 on Disney+ since release (also known as the Home Alone Sandwich). Cheers!

Twinkles made your wish come true: you can watch "Mickey & the Very Many Christmases" as many times as you want on Disney+ !

Looking forward to seeing these old (ahem, young) friends and making some new ones at the #torranceinnovationfestival ! Be a friend and come by. Sat 3/29, 10-3, at @elcaminoedu !

Wanna throw rotten eggs at writers? Then please stay home. Everyone else, come to the Torrance USD Innovation Festival at El Camino College tomorrow (Sat. 3/29)! Book signings, food trucks, author Q&A at 12:30, food trucks, maker fair, did I mention food trucks? See you there!

I got to hang with these kidlit champions Saturday at the Torrance Innovation Festival. Amazing crowds/kids/cheeseburgers, all courtesy of the amazing Alex Ross (yellow shirt) of Torrance USD. And thank you B&N Torrance for the book sales. It really does take a village!

Did u know Spongebob Squarepants=9/11? (Count the letters.) Thank you to Ms. Boyar's class at Mahopac Schools for the insights, questions, and enthusiasm! Amazing readers, every one.

Action photo! Okay, not the greatest screen shot, but it was impossible to contain the energy on this Zoom with Ms. Buhler (teacher) and Ms. Stolarski (librarian) and Ss at St. Mary’s Area Middle School (PA) last fall. And yes, this post is very tardy. 😊 @smdutchnation

Still playing catch-up on fall school visits. But suffice it to say I’ve been coasting off the energy from Ms. Combs’ assembly at Pico Canyon Huskies since October! Go Huskies! Newhall School District

7 visits in 9 years (thanks, pandemic) with Ms. Webster's students at Heritage School in SalineSchools (MI). Good friends always reunite! They also forgive you for posting about autumn visits in spring. (Right? Please?? 😊)

Best unboxing video ever? Sound up! Thank you, Sherry Davis Heideman Elementary Tustin Unified School District for buying these books for your students! We video chatted back in the fall, and Ms. Davis said the kids are still carrying them every day. Books matter!!

Say hi to the entire 4th grade at Watkins Intermediate Southwest Licking (Pataskala, OH). This was dress-up day post-Halloween (though I suspect Ms. Pietzcker would take any excuse to show up as Luigi). Belated thanks for a great visit!

A writer knows there are two sides to everything. 😂 Still catching up on school-year visits with this belated thanks to the 5/6G students of the amazing Ms. Munson at Woodbury Elementary (CA)! They had done a ton of research into my background and writing. Guilty as charged.👀

"Since they didn't get him a dog, what were Alex's parents going to give him for his birthday?" In a decade+ of doing this, I've never been stumped like this before! Thanks to Ms. Maggart's and Ms. Edwards' 4G Ss at Iles Elem Quincy Public School for being smart readers with fun questions!
